Yes, every Canadian should be ashamed, I’m angry.

Your question is one I sorely missed - “What happened to the men and women Canadian troops handed over before November?
Thank you.

If Afghans are being turned over to their government, they are being tortured. If the are being turned over to the US, they are being tortured. That has been known since 2004.

Whooee! It used to be a trick question when someone asked, “Have you stopped beating your wife yet?”

Now, Harper is asked, “Have you stopped violating the Geneva conventions yet?”

Answer: “Yes. We stopped back in early November 2007.”

Shameful and shameless.

I also wonder what we’ve been doing with detainees since November but I also wonder something else. Now that we’ve confirmed what the opposition was saying all along, what steps have been taken to ascertain what has become of detainees handed over before November?

Knowingly violating the Geneva Conventions is a war crime. Turning a blind eye to torture is a violation. Delivering prisoners to known torturers is a violation. Nevermind an election. Harper, Hillier, O’Connor, MacKay and Bernier should be put on trial.

Canadians should be ashamed of what’s been done in our name.
