Interrogated By Canadian Security Officials in Guantanamo
In mid July Canadian courts compelled the Canadian government to make available tapes made of the interrogation of Canadian youth Omar Khadr by Canadian security officials in 2004. In the tapes a distraught Khadr stripped off his shirt to show his wounds, which he claimed were not being treated. He breaks down and cries, and when he is left alone, he appeared to repeat "kill me, kill me, kill me." The publication of the tapes stirred controversy.
On July 27, 2008 Michelle Shephard, writing in the Toronto Star, reporting that other Canadian security officials had interviewed Ahcene Zemiri, Djamel Ameziane and Mohamedou Ould Slahi, three other Guantanamo captives who had lived in Canada.

Sublunary paths, and famous hands have weighed
The strength they have against the strength they need;
And famous lips interrogated God
Concerning franchise in eternity....”

“The conflict between the men who make and the men who report the news is as old as time. News may be true, but it is not truth, and reporters and officials seldom see it the same way.... In the old days, the reporters or couriers of bad news were often put to the gallows; now they are given the Pulitzer Prize, but the conflict goes on.”
—James Reston (b. 1909)
