Just a quick note.
Today in the House of Commons every question directed at both the Minister of National Defense Peter McKay and Prime Minister Stephen Harper regarding the Afghan detainee issue was greeted with a response of: "Asking questions regarding the treatment and potential torture of detainees handed to Afghan officials by the CF means you don't support the troops!". This is eerily similar to the approach used by the Bush White House whenever there were questions about the regimes handling of the wars in both Iraq and Afghanistan.
What a shameful farce this "Most Open and Accountable Government in Canadian History" has become. Unfortunately they have sufficiently stalled, stonewalled and obstructed the search for the truth on this issue to take us into the Christmas break. They are now banking that the average Canadian forgets about this issue over the Holidays, an issue which a recent EKOS pole says is hurting Conservative chances of forming a majority government. Unfortunatly they are probably correct in this assumption as Canadians (even the politically involved) will be focusing on the spring budget and its potential to bring us to yet another federal election.
