Canada places U.S. on torture watch list

Following the revelation that a Canadian citizen has been tortured repeatedly at Guantanamo Bay - he has been held there for 5 years, since he was 15 - Canada's CTV has discovered that the Canadian government already has the U.S. on a list of countries with a high risk of torture. Bush's America appears on the list alongside Iran, China, and others.

The story about Gitmo came on the heels of that of a Canadian national who was falsely accused by U.S. authorities of having terrorism links. Although he was innocent, this man was sent to a Syrian prison and tortured for a year.

What? The United States under a member of the Bush crime family practices torture? Tell me something I haven't known for years.
