That is true, and it will be interesting to see how the UN Committee Against Torture responds. Probably the "golden shield" will not need to be invoked once more by the United States, as the Canadian government evidently has no wish to annoy its neighbor. Moreover, it has its own appalling track record when it comes to preserving human rights in the "war on terror," as the cases of Omar Khadr in Guantà �namo, and Mahar Arar and others who were tortured in Syria demonstrate. However, the submission is to be commended for reminding people that great crimes -- committed by the most senior U.S. officials and their lawyers -- still remain unpunished, and that that is a situation that ought to be considered a major disgrace rather than something to be brushed aside.
