An affidavit is written testimony, not a document trail. If they would prefer Mr. Mulroney pre-testified in Beijing, that likely could have been arranged.

No the gotcha is that the government that assured us everything was fine, was also suspending transfers and is now saying it never saw any reports or evidence of torture. Not all of those things can be true.

Instead of defending this obfuscation and nonsense you should join us in calling for whoever is in government to be accountable for what they saw, said and decided.

You must be listening, why else would you comment?

Back on topic,
3 Generals are appearing before committee for their interrogations, on Wednesday,
perhaps they will be armed with some of those documents demanded by the Opps.

silly me, I thought that is what you meant with
''…and ALL responsible for this to be held accountable…''
as in charges being laid, isn't that the gotcha here?

I don't think we should start worrying about laying charges just yet.
We need to figure out what went down…

This CBC report must be some mistake. After all, as many have proclaimed here, the CBC is a tool that works against the right (and must be destroyed). Perhaps this is all part of some crazy leftist scheme? Careful friends – time to put on the aluminum helmets, just in case!! ;)

Sorry – just couldn't resist taking some jabs at all the CBC haters out there.

Who woulda thunk – the CBC actually reports the news!!!!

Why don’t you try telling the whole truth, rather than slandering AW? Those tranfers were under a different command structure. We handed over detainees to the US. It may prove to be not pretty either. And when they did sign an agreement in 2005 both the libs, and subsequently the new govt, defended it. No one is listening to you Wilson [ except for the conbots ]…it’s what happens when you sell out your credibility so cheaply.

Can Martin and Graham be charged, now that they are out of government?

As Andrew Coyne said:
'Oh, so now we’re in favour of muzzling diplomats''

All documents, oh my
(from CBC link above, which Mr Wherry did not cut and paste from)

''…Military documents obtained by CBC News detail the transfer of 35 detainees caught by Canadian troops in Afghanistan, beginning in 2002 and ending in April 2006.

In one case in January 2002, the then-Liberal government waited nearly 3½ months before notifying the International Red Cross it had transferred a detainee. In 2006, the length of time shortened to between four and eight days…'

Liberals handed over detainees for 4 years, without securing an agreement on their humane treatment…
this is not gonna be pretty.

Keeping fingers crossed that the facts of the matter can be unearthed, and ALL responsible for this to be held accountable.
We're supposed to be better than this….

How were they able to properly question Mr. Colvin?
