Jim Gould

A Canadian Foreign Affairs intelligence officer, Jim Gould previously served as the deputy of the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade.

In February 2003, Gould and an official from the Canadian Security Intelligence Service were allowed to interrogate American-held Canadian teenager Omar Khadr themselves.cite web |url=http://www.thestar.com/News/article/247900 |title=Ottawa played down Khadr concerns |accessdate=2008-05-23 |author=Michelle Shephard |date=2007-08-20 |work=Toronto Star online edition] The presence of Gould, who brought Khadr a Big Mac value mealMichelle Shephard, Toronto Star, "Canadian faces murder charges at a military tribunal", January 8, 2006] , allowed the government to claim that the purpose of the visit was to "to ascertain Khadr's well-being", while his attorney Nate Whitling argued that "Foreign Affairs is suggesting that the visit was actually for (Khadr's) benefit, but this is not the case". His attorneys then sought a Federal Court injunction to prevent CSIS from interrogating their client in the future. The following month, a briefing from the Foreign Affairs department summarised Gould's findings stating that Khadr was a "thoroughly `screwed up' young man. All those persons who have been in positions of authority over him have abused him and his trust, for their own purposes."Michelle Shephard, "Guantanamo's Child", 2008.]

The November 14 2003 report from the Canadian interrogation states that:

Assistant Director of CSIS William Hooper assured the Canadian public this interrogation was not intended to secure intelligence for an American prosecution, but admitted that the information was all freely shared with his American captors - without securing any guarantees, such as foregoing potential death penalty charges.CTV News, [http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20050409/Khadr_CSIS_050409?s_name=&no_ads= CSIS admits sharing Khadr info with U.S.: report] , Apr. 9 2005]
