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.

The government was aware of the situation, if I recall correctly there was even a video of when Canadian officials showed up to see him and he was happy when they introduced themselves because he thought the torture was finally over but nothing changed after that.
