I think that Wilson's point is that a month later the government had a new, much more complex arrangement in place, which included measures for tracking detainees, and onsite visits.

Is this the only instance of Colvin's superiors editing his copy? If so, he has a better record than most bureaucrats.

But I suppose that a grand conspiracy by the "entire rest of the government" to ensure that detainee torture issues were ignored makes for better copy.

So CON damage control includes the fetal-hibernation state?

And the entire rest of the government of Canada worked overtime to pull Colvin back down. But congratulations for keeping up with the latest spin, wilson.

Incidentally, it was Globe reporting that unearthed Adscam too. Guess once the Globe had it, governments should ignore that one too?

Some two, at the very least. To different Globe employees.

'…April, 2007, only days after a Globe investigation revealed disturbing allegations of abuse and torture…'

So the G&M did a far far better job of investingating detainee abuse than did Colvin. (going outside the wire for more than 1/2 day might have been the ticket)
And in May 2007 a new detainee arrangement had been worked out, the result of work done prior to the G&Ms investigational report.

It looks like Christie was right, Colvin jumped on the G&M bandwagon as it drove by.

Boy, someone is leaking to the Globe big time!
