Canada recently disclosed an internal government document that listed the US and Israel as states that practice torture. The Canadian government has since been in back pedal mode and withdrawn the accusation.

The Canadian foreign minster has said:

“I regret the embarrassment caused by the public disclosure of the manual used in the department’s torture awareness training”

“It contains a list that wrongly includes some of our closest allies.”

“I have directed that the manual be reviewed and rewritten. The manual is neither a policy document nor a statement of policy. As such, it does not convey the Government’s views or positions.”

You might notice that they did not say “The United States does not torture detainees.” They did say the list “wrongly includes some of our closest allies”. This might imply they should not be on the list because they are allies!
