Oh Canada!
You make me proud of my heritage!

Hope to retire there some day. Sadly, i’ve given up on this country. as far as the repugnicans and religious extremists are concerned, the constitution ain’t worth the paper its printed on. what’s shocking is the support they have to continue their desecration of the document.
Our founding fathers would be appalled.

I would be more than willing to hand over Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and all the rest of their dirty little circle to international war crimes tribunals if the international community were to request them.

They are already making contingency plans….buying land, building security forces…guess where……South America. Same place the Nazi’s ran….ironic indeed.

It seems to me that the rest of the free world is whispering suspiciously about the abuses performed in the name of the US Gov’t. What our fool of a president doesn’t realize or worse doesn’t care about is that the rest of the world is losing, or allready HAS lost any sympathy they felt for our Nation after 9/11. America was once a beacon of democracy and the voice of justice and reason to many around the world. We have been reduced to a pathetic joke in the international community by our ambivalent leader and his circle of self-serving criminals who apparently are more than happy to sell out the reputation of our Country for personal gain at the expense of our treasured service men and women’s lives, the lives of innocents in the ME, our economy, our beloved Constitution and our reputation in the world outside of our country. If we were to be attacked tomorrow, what country would stand with us? Regardless of what Bush says, we CAN’T go it alone without support from our once commited allies. If the UN were to stand up to GW Bush and demand answers and access to our detainee facilities around the globe it would come as no surprise if GW would tell them to go Cheney themselves. I agree with many posters here that sadly we will probably never begin impeachment hearings against Bush and Cheney. However, I would be more than willing to hand over Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and all the rest of their dirty little circle to international war crimes tribunals if the international community were to request them. This would satisfy many Americans who seek justice for the many crimes commited in our name by these thugs and go a long way to help restore our name with the rest of the world.

Actually, this is surprising. Our Prime Minister, Steve Harper, does not like to see this sort of annoyance. He is a devoted disciple of Bushco and Steve will straighten out this bit of bother. I thought for a moment this could have been Steve’s little retaliation for Mr. Gates’ insult about the performance of Canadian soldiers yesterday. No way though. Steve is known for not being petty. However, heads will roll here for this misunderstanding about torture. Why Steve just let his displeasure be known the other night with a silly official who did her job but forgot she was not supposed to. She shut down one of our nuclear reactors just because she was Chair of the Nuclear Safety Commission and the reactor was repeatedly failing its safety obligations. Steve did not like her doing this. He moved to override her decision and the reactor is running again without any correction of its serious deficiencies. A committee of Parliament thought they should chat with the Chair of the Commission and booked her for yesterday. Steve fixed this. Near midnight Tuesday night. he fired her. Bushco need not worry while Steve is around. Before being Prime Minister, Steve was very upset that we didn’t join your little party in Iraq. As Prime Minister, he isn’t about to let little issues like your holding a Canadian arrested as a child in Gitmo be a bother. Why Steve doesn’t even ask how the kid is doing after six years. Torture schmorture. Steve will take care of the little offence.

No, Damien – Even the planes don’t “run on time” (and , haven’t trains been de-funded?). There really is NO upside to our Reich.

It took Bush’s anti-gay agenda to turn Andy Sullivan, so his conversion is nebulous. He may not be a neo-con; but he’s still a conservative, why promote him?

Oh yeah; Gitmo, torture, US=terrorists. But, they’re being “held accountable” by their enablers, Reid & Pelosi, so all is well. May they all rot, and soon.

Notable is the fact that more than half of the places specifically cited in the CTV report, Afghanistan, GITMO, the United States and even the Syrian prison Arar was sent to under the US rendition (kidnapping?) program, are torture havens all under the direct control of… The United States.

Operation condor in Latin America made Henry Kissinger a war criminal and isn’t that while Bush 1 was running the CIA for Nixon ? America is second to no one ! We can torture with the best of them !

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said Wednesday that one of the biggest threats to U.S. security may now come from Europe.

Somewhere in a darkened sealed tank, with a thin layer of warm salinated water, floats a mental giant, whose thoughts suddenly turn to nuking europe. [kidding]

Now you know how Germans felt during the Nazi era. The U.S. is a criminal regime that wages aggressive wars, tortures, disregards the Geneva Convention, kidnaps people and holds them in indefinite confinement, and uses fear and propaganda to justify its actions. But hey, the trains run on time.

THE USA DOES TORTURE! IT DID THROUGOUT THE 70′S AND 80′S IN LATIN AMERICA. PLUS IF BUSH HAS SAID THAT ‘THE UNITED STATES DOES NOT TORTURE’, IT DOES, FOR THE WAR CRIMINAL LIES WHEN HE MOVES HIS LIPS…

this is surprising simply because it comes from the PRO conservative media TV station. of course the zionist MSM (global) in canada would never talk about this.

Waiting for trolls to say Canada is a socialistic, backward country that envies the USA for “Freedom and Democracy”.
