Just answer the question, for God's sake.

And stop the ad hominem crap. I have no "faith" whatsoever, and cannot possibly be "partisan" as a non-American who does not care one bit for either of your funny political parties. That you should insist on such baseless allegations rather than sticking to the topic undermines the impression you wish to convey of a rational and civil person who talks only on facts.

We are talking about a single case of a Canadian taken to Syria by Americans and jailed there. You don't contest the validity of this story, so you DON'T need "evidence" to answer the following questions:

(1) How is abducting a Canadian citizen and dumping him in a Syrian jail "lawful"?

While answering that question, you keep in mind the "UN convention against torture" which US signed in 1980s, where this paragraph appears:

Article 3

1. No State Party shall expel, return ("refouler") or extradite a person to another State where there are substantial grounds for believing that he would be in danger of being subjected to torture.

(2) You say "we don't know for sure that US meant these people to be tortured in Syria and elsewhere". Fair enough. Now tell us: What other reason can you possibly think of for US to send a suspected Canadian off to Syria, in of the Convention above?

Be a man. Answer two simple questions.
