The Canadian media has revealed that in December 2010, the Canadian government essentially legalized the use of torture in the name of “public safety”!
Canadian media sources obtained the info by using Canada’s freedom of information law. In other words the legalization of torture was not made public by public officials!
The December 2010 approval of the use of torture directly contradicts a 2009 directive, which forbade Canadian courts, and law enforcers, from using statements made by people subjected to torture.
This new directive allows Canadian Security Intelligence Service to use statements from people who’ve been tortured. A statement by Canada’s Public Safety Minister, Vic Toews, shows how fearful Canadian leaders have become: “Information obtained by torture is always discounted, but the problem is, can one safely ignore it if Canadian lives and property are at stake?”
What’s the definition of terrorism? It is to spread terror, fear, throughout a society, to cause radical change in that society. Looks like the terrorist (who ever they are) have won!
