Well, Canada is pissed at Iran over the death of a Iranian-born Canadian who was tortured and died in a hospital. It can't be *all* bad...

It's not what it looks like, according to Ottawa. The Canadian government says that they looked the other way on this because they didn't want to jeopardise efforts to have Sampson released, or have him subject to further torture, which may have been difficult if they beat up the Saudis on torture while he was still being held. Now that he is free, they should turn on the heat....preferably American friends will join this effort?

Mr. Jackson, You apparently agree with SGT O's premise that the Canadian government will take the word of oppressive theocratic government over the word of one of your own citizens. Are you saying by your reply that only selfish, narrowminded, dumbass cowboys disagree with theocratic, oppressive governments? And I habe met a few people from ALberta that can match the description from above...and they are proud of it!
