CSIS questioned Canadian in Libya, rights group says
Canadian spies teamed up with the Gadhafi regime to question a Canadian jailed in Libya, a prominent human-rights group says.

Canadian Security Intelligence Service officers travelled to Libya several times to interview the prisoner between 2002 and 2005, Human Rights Watch says. The New York-based group will circulate a statement on Wednesday revealing that it has obtained documents on this obscure case from an abandoned intelligence complex in Tripoli.

1. Do I have this correct?
So this Canadian citizen is seized and tortured by Ghaddafi with the complicity of the Canadian government because he supported a banned "Islamic terrorist group".

Now Canada is bombing Libya to support the overthrow of Ghaddafi, and his replacement by a rebel group that includes the same "Islamic terrorist group" for which this citizen was jailed and tortured because he supported it.

Okay Steve, you win, I barely recognize my country.
