I suppose so, but in my judgement, it's the Americans who mistreated their prisoner and the Canadians aren't culpable. I assume CSIS sharing information with American counterparts is pretty standard practice, especially during times of war. I'm no lawyer though.
I didn't follow this story back in the day, so I was unaware that it was his deadbeat dad who dragged his ass to Afghanistan to fight. I thought he was one of those young men who simply ran off to wage holy war, and for those types I have no sympathy.
If interrogation and sharing information is a violation of rights worth $10.5 million, what is torture and imprisonment worth? The Canadians did not physically harm him.
