UPDATE : Canadian Omar Khadr ( child soldier interrogation ) is refused help by Canadian Officials who are more interested in getting information from him and treating him as a trrorist - Canadian Government in on the Fix to breach International Laws regarding Child Soldiers -
Are the Canadian People as depraved as the Bush Regime and the Neocons who have no regard for International Law or The Geneva Conventions. Do Canadians also believe that we should only adhere to such laws & agreements at our discretion .
We now know Canadian troops have handed over POWs to be tortured by Americans or Afghan officials or even British Soldiers who also tortured detainees. Of course the British soldiers are old hats at torture as they used torture extensively in Northern Ireland and in the Middle East from the 1920s on and as the French did in Algiers and Vietnam etc. The Spanish under Franco used torture right up to the 1970s as did all those anti-Communist puppet Regimes in Latin America, Central America, The Phillipines, Africa in South Africa and Rhodesia & Burma, Indonesia . British rule in India for instance was far from being benevolent as millions of Citizens of India were Butchered during the British occupation of India So is our so called superiour civilization one that abuses and shows no respect for captured enemy soldiers .
If this is what the average person wants then so be it but don't complain and bitch when Canadian soldiers who are captured by the enemy are abused, raped, tortured etc. it is then what we deserve though it may not be what the average Canadian soldier deserves who may actually in defiance of their commanding officers try to play by the rules as set out in the Geneva Convention. . Either we play by civilized rules hoping that those we fight against will do the same or we just lower ourselves to the level of the worst terrorists. Of course when we physically, emotionally abuse or sexually abuse or use torture we do so because we are Holy Soldiers fighting the New Crusade in the Name of Christ so no one is permitted to question the purposes or motives of Western Chistian nations.
In this tape of Omar Khadr we see that The poor bastard is slow to realize that these people couldn't care less about his well being and how he is being treated at Guantanamo or if he is being tortured. He is first off a 15 year old in an extremely terrifying situation . He has obviously undergone some form of abuse such as sleep deprivation and who knows what else. Meanwhile the citizens of Canada and the United States for the most part couldn't care less . Once a person is accused they are treated as being guilty of the worst crimes imaginable and Omar and others are being abuse for pay-back for 9/11.

from Truthout and the Globe And Mail Omar Khadr: The Interrogation Tuesday 15 July 2008
Video captures righteous indignation.
Before the rage, the resignation and the tears, came
the trust. Teenaged prisoner Omar Khadr seemed sure that his countrymen from Canada had come to Cuba to help him and spoke freely when they asked questions.
On the second day, the reality almost visibly dawned on his face.
Agents had asked about his links to al-Qaeda, about his friends and family in Afghanistan, about whether he really thought dozens of black-eyed virgins awaited him in janna, or paradise.
The teenager realized the obvious. The Canadian agents weren't there to help. They were there to mine him for information. So he wept. He denied everything. He pulled at his hair and pulled down his orange prisoner's suit. He showed his war wounds, which nearly killed
him during a battle with U.S. soldiers six months earlier.
From behind the flaps of a ventilation shaft, a hidden camera caught all the rage and righteous indignation of Omar Khadr, a Canadian citizen raised by fundamentalist
parents in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan. The 16-year-old al-Qaeda suspect and Guantanamo Bay detainee was facing allegations that he murdered a U.S. soldier.
After a series of Canadian court orders, remarkable footage of
federal agents questioning Mr. Khadr was released Tuesday morning - starting with an eight-minute highlight reel released at 5 a.m., and a full seven hours of footage to come later in the afternoon.
The largest portion of the eight-minute segment shows a sobbing Mr. Khadr with his head buried in his
hands, repeatedly moaning "help me, help me."
The grainy footage marks the first video of a Guantanamo Bay interrogation. The Canadian Security Intelligence Service prefers to describe the meetings as "interviews".
And now a word from The Ministry of Peace and The Ministry of Truth; We have always been at war with Iran and it is time to take the Iranians 'out' as it were.
Here we go again the Propaganda Machine is working overtime so we can all stop thinking and just go along for the ride.
Freedonia Going To War- Marx Brothers 'Duck Soup'
and as Buchanan concludes in the article below though there is no imminent threat of Iran nuking Israel or America the Israelis and their supporters in America want to attack Iran no matter what the facts on the ground happen to be or as Reagen used to say " Facts are stupid things" . The propagandists and the Media claim that all loyal and good citizens including even the Democrats in America including The Clintons and Obama want to turn Iran into a pile of rubble like they did to Afghanistan and Iraq. But all those peaceniks don't realize how exiting and war is besides its the manly & womanly thing to do . And there is nothing sexier than those working class folks in uniform and nothing more satisfying than seeing the enemy and their children blown to bits. And if we are good they'll show the whole thing on widescreen HD Ready TV.

A Phony Crisis – And a Real One By Patrick J. Buchanan
15/07/08 "WND" -- -- WASHINGTON – Last week, the front pages of the world press blossomed with photos of four Iranian rockets, fired in salvo, heading skyward.
The image was powerful and the message reinforced by the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. Should Israel attack Iran, said Ali Shira, Tel Aviv will be "set on fire."
U.S. reaction was swift and bristling. "Rice Says U.S. Will Defend Gulf," declared the headline over the AP story that began:
"Condoleezza Rice flexed America's muscles in the Middle East Thursday, forcefully warning Iran the U.S. won't ignore threats and will take any action necessary to defend friends and interests in the Persian Gulf. ...
"Rice said Iran's leaders should understand that Washington won't dismiss provocations from Tehran and has the ability to counter them. 'I don't think the Iranians are too confused, either, about the capability and the power of the United States to do exactly that.'"
and as Buchanan points out the facts don't quite jive with the Israeli, Bush , Cheney, Rice propaganda but there is nothing new about this except this time they may be taking on a lot more than they can handle .
...Under Secretary of State Nick Burns then splashed cold water on Iran's alleged crash program to acquire nuclear weapons.
"Iran has not yet perfected (uranium) enrichment," said Burns, "and, as a direct result of U.N. sanctions, Iran's ability to procure technology or items of significance to its missile programs, even dual-use items, is being impaired."
Though the ex-head of Mossad, Shabtai Shavit, says Iran may be one year away from a bomb – and will use it on Israel – according to the latest U.S. National Intelligence Estimate, Iran shut down its nuclear weapons program in 2003.
Iran, says Burns, has not yet mastered the technology of converting uranium gas into fuel for use in power plants, let alone the stuff of bombs. And even if Iran is one day able to enrich to weapons grade, she would still have to build and test a nuclear device, then weaponize it to fit atop a missile and deploy a missile force. All in all, says Burns, Iran's progress with uranium enrichment has been "modest."
There is thus no imminent crisis to justify war on Iran.
Yet, what is Nancy Pelosi's Democratic House doing?
Some 220 members, a majority, have endorsed House Concurrent Resolution 362. This virtual war resolution "demands" that President Bush initiate a blockade to halt all Iranian imports of refined petroleum products and impose "stringent inspection requirements on all persons, vehicles, ships, planes, trains, and cargo entering or departing Iran."
A Democratic House that came to power denouncing the rush to war on Iraq is about to vote to demand that Bush commit an act of war against Iran.
The front men for 362 are liberal Gary Ackerman of New York and conservative Mike Pence of Indiana. But the juice behind them is that of the Israeli lobby AIPAC, which is marching in step with Israel.
Last week, Mossad's chief, Meir Dagan, was here to make the case for war on Iran. This week, Defense Minister Ehud Barak visits Dick Cheney and maybe Bush. Next week, it is the head of Israel's armed forces.
Israel and its Fifth Column in this city seek to stampede us into war with Iran. Bush should rebuff them, and the American people should tell their congressmen: You vote for 362, we don't vote for you.
and so it goes,
GORD.
