I do not believe O'Connors latest assurances of corrective measures either. It doesn't matter what party is in power and who messed up. There are times partisanship can to take second place to national realities, and it is acceptable voters demand that intelligent, honest, wise leadership needs to be shown. I can understand people may strongly identify with the party in power and party loyalty must prevail at all costs for them. If you are Conservative who honestly and fairly believes there is no ethical breeches, after looking at the time table and actions; believe no national and international harm is being done, I invite Conservative party members to write their government and say so. All voices matter, the government needs to hear from us, the military need to know we've spoken, Afghanistan needs to know Canadians won't tolerate or be party to abuse or used by abusers. Nor do we need window dressing slap on the wrists toward key officials. We need proof what is needed in Afghanistan is provided. The report stated prisioner abuse increased in 2006 as Canadians took leadership of NATO. We share values with our military. They face the danger and blame for the loss or our national reputaton more than anyone else. That has been blatently iqnored and taken for granted by the federal government. The Globe and Mail is doing it's job. So are many other news outlets across the country. CP. CanWest. Reuters. BN. They know a key story when they see one. Shooting the messenger may make people thinking giving media heat feel good about themselves, but it is not going to help the government understand what we voters expect.

If this is anything like his two previous agreements, the one with the Red Cross and the other with the AIHRC, we'll have to stay on this. Suggest you also provide a link to the Globe and Mail to write and support their coverage on this the last three days. They are taking a lot of heat for this.
