I was browsing through the Guardian and found this headline: 

I just heard it on the news. Syria might be using torture in its prisons - which hold ten thousand prisoners. (US prisons hold a more reasonable 2.4 million).

Now, we will no doubt hear that NATO must intervene for humanitarian reasons, just as it did in Libya. The world cannot allow torture by foreigners. Stephen Harper will rally us to the cause.

You remember Stephen. He's the one who allowed the US to "render" at least to Canadians to Syria where they could be tortured by the CIA.
