They don't show how Canadians polled on this - 'divided' does not really explain anything. I must say I am not heartened to hear this. I really believe that if our societies are to truly be worthy of saving from terrorists, it has to be because our morality is clearly superior to that of terrorists. This is one of those areas that, for me, does not have shades of grey. Torture is a place you just don't go as a society.
