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 lawenforcers, 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 SafetyMinister, 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!

Not really much to go on!

The latest directive says in "exceptional circumstances" where there is a threat to human life or public safety, urgency may require CSIS to "share the most complete information available at the time with relevant authorities, including information based on intelligence provided by foreign agencies that may have been derived from the use of torture or mistreatment."

In such rare circumstances, it may not always be possible to determine how a foreign agency obtained the information, and that ignoring such information solely because of its source would represent "an unacceptable risk to public safety."

"Therefore, in situations where a serious risk to public safety exists, and where lives may be at stake, I expect and thus direct CSIS to make the protection of life and property its overriding priority, and share the necessary information — properly described and qualified — with appropriate authorities."

The directive says the final decision to investigate and analyze information that may have been obtained by methods condemned by the Canadian government falls to the CSIS director or his deputy director for operations — a decision to be made "in accordance with Canada's legal obligations."

Finally, it says the minister is to be notified "as appropriate" of a decision to use such information.

Torture would be having to watch hockey or Wayne's World reruns.

Hockey is not torture ..... Hockey is a religion and the Habs are the gods.
