It gets worse...

... but it isn't surprising.

Short summary: Canadian soldiers try to help an Afghan detainee who is cooking in a holding cell in Canadian custody that reaches 60 degrees Celsius by giving the detainee frozen water bottles and warning Ottawa headquarters about the conditions. Ottawa headquarters initially refuses to allow the detainee to be released and ignores warnings about the detainee's condition.

Although this isn't directly related to the transfer of Afghan detainees over to Afghan custody (where there is a significant chance of torture), it seems to be quite indicative of how little the Canadian government really cares about the treatment of detainees. The Conservatives, however, are quite happy to throw around rhetoric and act indignantly when faced with allegations.
