I do agree though that there needs to be more transparency. But as Canadians in a US started war we often don't have that choice. I doubt even our government had access to all this information.
George Grant once said that the USA, USSR, and Nazi Germany only differed by the degrees to which they were willing to extinguish human life.

That's a complicated statement and requires a greater understand of technocracy and its effect on human politics than I am willing to delve into here.

But the fact remains, the USA does do some terrible things. The thing is, even though I want Canada to do better and be an example to the world, I don't think that involves engaging in petulant anti-Americanism which is the sure sign nowadays of someone who hasn't passed through the stage of considering Michael Moore to be a reasonable public intellectual.
