But no, Canadians typically don't approve of torturing prisoners.


I don't think any country that's been to war is completely guilt-free.

In Bosnia there were local accusations of beatings, rape and the sexual
abuse
of a handicapped teenage girl by Canadian Peacekeepers. In Somalia a boy
was
tortured and killed by Canadian Peacekeepers.

And so on. There are accounts of peacekeepers of other nationalities
behaving
criminally as well (Italians, Pakistanis). All this from a couple of
google-minutes. What more would I have found in Ten minutes instead of
Three?

The difference is that in the case of the Iraq torture scandal it seems to
have been official US government policy to torture the prisoners.
