Didn't McCallum give them something to talk about?

I have been busy following up on the story that the Martin Administration was aware of torture allegations in Afghan prisons before they signed the transfer agreement with Karzai without proper Red Cross oversight of transferred prisoners. If they were aware of these allegations, why omit proper monitoring mechanisms? Colvin said himself "Canada had decided that Canada would not monitor", and this is despite the government being aware that monitoring was necessary! Did they omit monitoring because they knew the monitors would find bad things? The Taliban should sue Paul Martin.

I visited the Canadian Politics page at the Globe and Mail, and aside from stories about disaster relief in Haiti, there were only Stephen Harper eulogies. None of the journalists at the Globe are tackling this issue. I visited the CBC Politics Page, and the only thing that I could find there are multiple posts by Kady O'Malley gloating over the Ekos poll. Enjoy the moment Kady, because somehow I suspect that the Prime Minister is holding his best punches for after the Olympics. What is happening right now is the roping of the dopes.

Thankfully we have the Blogging Tories to talk about it.

  1. Getting the LibLuvin media to acknowledge 'Liberals complicite in war crimes' is right up there with Climategate.
    ain't gonna happen

    Thru the natural course of 'things', it will come out, later, when it will hurt the LPC the most....rope a dope

  2. The whole point is that the allegations where being bandied about by diplomats well before Harper took office, but yet the libs ignored them until after Harper became PM.
    Seems they addressed prisoner transfers the same way they handled the environment file
    Quoting Iggy himself
    "didn't get it done"
