Wow, something I can agree with them on for once.  Another sure sign of the end of days is nigh..

“Throughout Canada’s military operations in Afghanistan, the Government of Canada ensured individuals detained by the CAF were treated humanely and handled, transferred or released in accordance with our obligations under international law,” wrote Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan in his response to an e-petition signed by 727 Canadians that called for an inuqiry. “Therefore the Government of Canada does not believe an independent judicial commission of inquiry is necessary.”

Sajjan, who served as the Canadian Forces’ police liaison in Kandahar at the time, has said repeatedly that he is focused on the future of the military and that Canadian soldiers are trained on their obligations under international law, including the Geneva Conventions.

There is already a Military Police Complaints Commission inquiry for the exact same thing ongoing. Also generated by anonymous letter. This seems like they didn't like the pace of the MPCC inquiry and wanted to stir the pot further.

I hate that we action items submitted anonymously and give so much weight to that fact. I get the importance of protecting whistleblowers but it almost feels like we give more deference to anonymous complaints than ones with a name behind them.

Seems like the Liberals don't give a shit. http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/afghan-canada-prisoners-1.3640411

Ah, so you're FOR a public inquiry, then?  >

Nahh! Just getting older and more cynical and learning to enjoy the pain of others.    [
