Uzbekistan is the home to what some people might say is “the Door to Hell” and they might very well be right since the fires have been burning for over 35 years. What I hear is that geologists were digging their noses into some gassy holes near Darvaz. During the dig they had found a cave that was filled with harmful gas so in attempt to remove the gas they had ignited it. So since 1973 it’s rich gasses have been ablaze, wasting away, without pause. But wouldn’t it be the perfect place to roast the worlds largest marshmallow? Mmm
made a list, checked it twice

I don’t think it was wrong, or a mistake that Canada’s foreign minister Maxime Bernier had added the United States and Israel to a manual stating them as countries military prisoners are at risk of torture. The torture awareness course in which this manual was offered started because of the criticism Ottawa received for a blundered case where the United States deported a Canadian to Syria for 10 months in 2002. Maher Arar had been accused of being apart of the suicidal Islamic organization, sent to a prison in Damascus and said that he had been tortured while he was there. Eventually Canada granted him $10.5 million Canadian cash in a settlement while the US has offered no type of compensation and refuses to remove him and his family from a terrorist watch list. Maher is working on that though.
The manual says that US interrogation methods consist of isolation, sleep deprivation, blindfolding and nudity. Check, check, check and check! So on the behalf of the US and Israel, David Wilkins cuts in and finds it offensive to be on the same list as China and Iran. Sure China and Iran have some pretty screwed up modern methods of torture, but Mr. Bernier had spelled out how we differ and our country had tortured prisoners, no matter if it is prohibited.
In the end Maxime Bernier removed the US and Israel saying that the manual be reviewed and rewritten because it included some of Canada’s closest alies. He also added that the manual was not a policy, but to bring awareness.
