Peter Mackay keeps saying that allegations that Afghan detainees handed over to Afghans were tortured cannot be substantiated by facts. What facts? Would he care to elaborate?
Peter, for Pete sake, the writing is on the wall. Your own senior diplomat is saying it happened. His fellow diplomats here in Canada and Europe are backing him up. Media in Canada and Britain are saying that this is the case. Even a very right leaning paper, the National Post, is saying that there is a problem, they had an editorial siding with Mr. Colvin.
Peter, have you learned nothing from Maher Arar's case who was detained in the U.S? Our law enforcement agencies provided unsubstantiated information about him, and he was sent to Syria where he was tortured. Canada got a black eye for that and settled for millions of dollars with Mr. Arar. When will you learn? Do yourself a favour and resign, as the defence portfolio is not your cup of tea.
