I don't deny he was tortured, don't deny his rights were violated. I just have a very hard time stomaching the fact that he is getting so much monetary compensation for this. Do not have an issue with the fact he was repatriated to Canada, don't have an issue with him being given an apology. I just think it should have ended there.
