"These judgments posit that Canadian authorities cannot use information that 'may have been' derived from torture, and that any Canadian public official who conveys such information may be subject to criminal prosecution," the cable says."

2. I'm quite proud of my "Alice in Wonderland" worldview.
One in which torture is wrong, and we don't get to "enjoy" its fruits.
