U.S. Briefly On Canadian Torture List

January 21, 2008 | ISSUE 44•03

Late last week, Canada placed the United States on an official list of countries that practice torture before removing it on Saturday. What do you think?

We need to find out whoever did this, strap them to a board, and dump gallons upon gallons of water on them until they agree to take us off that list.

Why is Canada in charge of the official torturers list?

Lacey Baines
Youth Pastor
I'm not sure why this is a problem. Were we at the bottom or the list or something?
