Ah, I see! You would like Canada to act as Japan did towards prisoners in WWII. Torture is accepted, and no apology or compensation afterwards for rights violations. Anyone, including your father, who can separate right from wrong appreciates that Canada aspires to higher standards than those that existed in the Second World War.

I take it you also disapprove of the identical award given to Maher Arar, the Canadian who was tortured in a Syrian prison due to the complicity of Canadian officials. He wasn't even imprisoned for a year, compared to the eight years Khadr spent in Guantanamo.
