why stop at pulling the troops out?! persue the lefties in court and charge them with aiding and abbetting the enemy under the OSA. mmmmmmm wonder if any crowns council would want to take that one on pro bono.

i agree wholeheartedly Mel. Anyone…..including parliamentarians should be held to account under the OSA. It is called aiding and abetting the enemy. By discussing these sensitive issues in the public realm they are undermining the ability of our soldiers to do carry out their mission effectively and alowing those who would do us harm gleefully take note of our weakkneed bleeding hearts in order to gain an upper hand. Time enough to navel gaze once the troops are home and out of harms way.

For once it'd be nice if the truth, justice, and honor was upheld by the government so the titles they have actually meant something other than, I'm a better conman than the other guy.

It seems as if the government has been very busily engaged in covering something up and it does no good to the country to let them get away with it without at least investigating. Whether you care about the treatment of detainees or not, any government must be required to account to the people.

No discredit falls to the soldiers and no one is saying it does. Nice attempt at misdirection trolls.

mel – I think you should read a few more papers and read a few more comments after the articles. I have read quite a number in the last weeks. No one blames our troops. This is an issue of our government making a conscious decision to ignore an international law. (I would speculate that this policy may also have put the troops in danger, because without proper monitoring of the detainees, the ones that were not identified as Taliban but actually were, could possibly be quickly released from the Afghan prisons, through bribery or other ways, and fight again with the added knowledge of Canadian detainment procedures.) The issue is also one of government transparency and accountability to the Canadian people about the difficult decisions it has to make. It is about lies, character assassination and misinformation. It is about Canada's moral standing – practicing exactly that what our soldiers are fighting (and far too often paying with their lives) for.

it is utterly repulsive the way some people in this country are so eager to punish the people putting themselves on the line for us everyday for crimes there is no evidence to say ever happened. it is amazing how the US is right now arranging to have actual war criminals, terrorists, brought to trial in america, giving them rights that they have no right to have, but we are chomping at the bit to charge our troops with war crimes for doing what they had to do to protect this country. way to undermine our soldiers folks. good job.

Funny how the lefties are so quick to condemn our side for any perceived slight but are quiet when terrorists murder teenage girls that want an education, cut the hands off people that exercise their democratic right to vote, Drag american prisoners around until their heads come off and video tape it. Good thing they live in a country where some are willing to die to protect their right to protest.

No good can come from pushing this issue farther. In its attempt to embarass the govt, the opposition is embarassing the whole country, while demoralizing and discrediting our armed forces.

If they continue they risk damaging Canada's international reputation all because of the unverifiable claims of the enemy.

It seems that the Liberals are just not capable of looking at the "big picture". They have tunnel vision on one goal, and one goal alone regardless of who gets trampled along the way. And that is to return to the government side of the house.
