Canadian Military Has Quit Turning Detainees Over to Afghans

"The Canadian military secretly stopped transferring prisoners to Afghanistan's government in November after Canadian monitors found evidence that they were being abused and tortured. The suspension, which began Nov. 5, was disclosed in a fax sent by government lawyers to Amnesty International and the British Columbia Civil Liberties Association, which are seeking to block the prisoner transfers. The government's internal concerns about detainees is also at odds with Canadian officials? repeated public statements that the Afghan government does not engage in systematic torture." (Free Reg. Req.) Too bad they haven't the integrity to openly denounce the brutality of Bushco and its puppet government in Afghanistan, but at least they aren't participating directly.
