It is awful.
The alternative would be to create a Canadian-staffed detention centre.
More soldiers. A lot more. Suits me fine, that is much better than tolerating torture.
BTW, do you guys think that this started when the Conservatives came to power?????????????
In that torture would be an ongoing type of event just how long should it take to actually do the investigations and take the proper steps to eliminate the torture, assuming that is even a goal.
Perhaps just classify it as part of National Security and seal it until 2050.
Spade - I think that anyone that gave a pittance of thought to this subject would realize that torture would be used - The country is broken - Karzai is crooked - The whole dammed country thrives on corruption, favors, blood feuds - same as Bosnia - not identical but many similarities -
But as I mentioned before - decades of war, atrocities - mass murders - slaughters - brother against brother against father against uncle against brother - and on it goes - corruption is one key, jobs another and as i have stated on numerous occasions bring the Pakistani ISI to heel - To the Pakistanis the Taliban are their key to an Afghanistan that will not pose a threat -
So I am sure many good people looked the other way on a number of occasions - But the problems I mentioned are in my opinion at a higher level than torture -
