1. The Bush family are Nazis and they've turned us into them, too,
And I don't mean metaphorical Nazis, and I'm not using hyperbole, either -- I'm saying that the Bush family are actually, certifiably, philosophically Nazi. The only reason they don't admit so outright, is that it is presently considered unseemly to be murderous, racist, fascist, jackbooted thugs in public in America.

Think I'm kidding?

Google "Prescott Bush and Nazi" sometimes and see what turns up.

2. good Lord, this is so sad.
the US being directly fingered as torturers by Canada! If that don't tell normal folk that we're being led by MONSTERS, then nothing will... they've seen just SOME of the torture pics and apparently not everyone cares, so I consider them monsters themselves for not admitting this country is torturing people, often without merit.


I am so ashamed of my country.

4. This wouldn't have happened if Stephen Harper had had his way.
The revelation is likely to embarrass the minority Conservative government, which is a staunch ally of both the United States and Israel. Both nations denied they allowed torture in their jails.

...

A spokesman for Foreign Minister Maxime Bernier tried to distance Ottawa from the document.

"The training manual is not a policy document and does not reflect the views or policies of this government," he said.

The government mistakenly provided the document to Amnesty International Canada as part of a court case the rights organization has launched against Ottawa over the treatment of detainees in Afghanistan.

6. I can just imagine what the freepers....
....are saying about Soviet Canuckistan now. Hopefully, they won't manage to obfuscate the issue, but I wouldn't bet against it.

That things should come to this. Damn it.

9. They'll be calling for a northern border fence.
Actually, never mind - freepers have probably been calling for a northern border fence for a while, right?:eyes:

8. Actually, this may do just the opposite for Harper...
We're not too far away from an election, ourselves, and the Conservatives have adopted somewhat of an "Eastern Strategy," since they are lacking in votes in Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes (no "red Tories left!). This may help them, there.

It certainly couldn't make him more reviled in these provinces...

When Canada with a long common border and as this report say, have a common history too, are listing USA in the same list as Syria and Iran.. Then you KNOW you have fallen hard, and very long from where you once was..

AND this is not exactly in the mainstream news, even that it should have been all over the press and at all news channel it be.. This is bad news that early in the morning 06.00...

This nightmare who have ruled this wonderfully nation of your have doing some real damage here.. And I hope that the citizen of US are waking up, and se what is happened here.. It is like looking in a mirror in a nightmare and you just cant stop looking at the horrible you are seeing there.. You know it is bad, but...

We have to work hard to overcome this, and US must work harder to overcome this burden.. This a bad stamp, from one of your close friends and allied country.. After mr Bush USA have to PROVE they are a better nation what this evil little clown have given the world impression about.. This is just sickening and sad... That US have become in just 8 year..

Sorry my bad English, not my native language
