Dear Mr. Harper

Letters to the Canadian Prime Minister

Torture, Habeas Corpus, and all that Jazz

29 September 2006, 16:19 CST

Dear Mr. Harper,

The US Congress did a strange thing this week. They paved the way for the legality of certain abusive interrogation methods, and have effectively killed Habeas Corpus.

The US president now has tyrannical control over suspected “illegal enemy combatant."

The US is slipping towards totalitarianism. What measures are in place to prevent this from occurring in Canada?

Kind Regards.
