They are the first country to have the guts to include the U.S. as a country engaging in torture. Naturally, the Canadian Conservative government, which have been Bush lab dogs since they came into office in a minority government, was quick to state that they do not believe the U.S. engages in torture, but they defend everything the Bushies do, which is why Canadians are beginning to really despise these guys. But then again, all I really care about is that the word is finally getting out in a somewhat official manner that the U.S. is doing what they claim they are not engaged in.....torturing human beings. <br><div border="2" style="margin-top: 10px; border:#000000 1px solid;" width="90%"><div style="background-color:"><div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;">Clip Source: <a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/011808P.shtml" title="http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/011808P.shtml">www.truthout.org</a></span></div><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;">A training manual for Canadian diplomats lists the United States among countries that potentially torture or abuse prisoners.</div></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;">The manual is an internal document of the Department of Foreign Affairs.
