A recent disclosure from Wikileaks reports that the Former Director of the Canadian Intelligence Service (CSIS) admitted to a U.S. official that CSIS is "vigorously harassing" known Hezbollah members in Canada. At first glance this sounds OK – but lets think about its implications? An honest spy service is about intelligence and information gathering; not torturing, intimidating, harassing, threatening – this is the role of a secret police. Apparently former CSIS Director Judd does not understand that in Canada one is supposed to charge those whom the authorities believe are law breakers; not arbitrarily torture them instead.
CSIS use a no-touch torture technique that was developed by the former Communist East German secret police, the STASI, to persecute dissidents. The Stasi called it Zerzetsen; CSIS calls it "D & D" (disrupt and diffuse). Here is an example of its use against an innocent family in Canada:

Either you believe in Rule of Law and Democracy, or like Canada’s CSIS and the Stasi you don’t.
