      Iran has not confirmed that they have him in detention and this was a spy. They literally caught a US spy. Do you know what we do to people we catch spying in the US?

      This is quite literally not the same thing. The US has accidentally killed a Canadian tourist. If a part of Iran’s government killed a US citizen we’d use that to launch War today.

          Ah yes we should just swallow everything any NATO country tells us as an objective fact.

          Understood.

          ~~That’s an interesting part of the story but in this case this Canadian tourist hadn’t live in the country at all. I feel like the speed at which he entered the US and then died indicates a problem with us custody and handling.

          Like I feel like it’s more egregious if you lived in the country for 30 years and then you know were prosecuted as a spy but to just die from being detained is total bullshit~~

          Misread something not valid.

            What case are you talking about? The article in this post is about a Canadian permanent resident of the US.

              Ahmed al Halabi

              This guy was actually acquitted of the charges but was still horribly abused inside the prison: Captain James Yee

              Mohammed Hashim

              Omar Ahmed Khadr

              I mean these are just a few. This wasn’t even hard to look up. Did you not expect that there would be actual spies in one of the US terrorist torture camps?

                zero for four, what else ya got?

                Ahmed al Halabi

                Accused of spying on gitmo. Was imprisoned in Florida, IIRC

                Captain James Yee

                Also accused of spying on gitmo. Imprisoned in South Carolina for a time.

                Mohammed Hashim

                Charged, imprisoned, and released within a year.

                Omar Ahmed Khadr

                not spy. Either terrorist or irregular fighter, take your pick.

        I wasn’t really making any kind of judgement about it. I just read your comment and thought “I’m pretty sure that’s already happened” so I looked it up.
