From the CBC. In a report released Monday, November 12th, 2007, Amnesty International condemned Canada's lax investigations of allegations of prisoner abuse in Afghanistan, as well as the remarkable secrecy exercised by Canada about the barest information regarding what happens to the people we capture. Our fearful leaders cite "national security" concerns
I dealt with this moronic "national security" justification before. It remains just as brain-dead, just as nauseatingly Eichmannesque.
"We set up our detention policy in consultation with the Red Cross and Red Crescent, and we think, we believe, that's 26 democratic governments believe that it meets the appropriate international standards," he said from Brussels. "We, NATO, have no evidence of systematic torture of detainees turned over by ISAF, by the NATO force in Afghanistan, to the Afghan authorities. And I might add I've read the Amnesty report relatively carefully today and I don't see evidence in that report either."
Let's parse this bit of bureaucratic drivel, shall we?
