A newly released diplomatic note says the former head of CSIS confided the spy agency was “vigorously harassing” known Hezbollah members in Canada.
It says Jim Judd also lamented that a soon-to-be released video of young Omar Khadr’s interrogation at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, would trigger “knee-jerk anti-Americanism” and “paroxysms of moral outrage, a Canadian specialty.”
The revelations are contained in a U.S. diplomatic cable obtained by online whistleblower WikiLeaks and posted by the New York Times.
WikiLeaks confirms there will be as many as 2,648 documents referencing Canada among the quarter-million it plans to release this week.
The website has offered some hints about the broad range of Canada-related topics they cover, including arms control, CBC coverage, consular matters, energy technology and foreign trade.
There are also references to Haiti, intelligence, military nuclear applications, provincial affairs, Syria and terrorism.
