There's no business like Torture!
A Canadian interpreter who worked for the Canadian Forces in Afghanistan said that soldiers shot an innocent 17 year old, and then proceeded to round up a 10 year old and a 90 year old and transferred them to the Afghan security service. Let's make it clear from now on. He was not a witness, but, he says he read an intelligence report on the issue. He goes on to make another series of accusing claims. Look, I'm tired of blogging about this subject and I think most people are tired of reading on this subject. But I won't relent until we know the truth. Come on Harper. Release the documents.

Second and third hand rumours are hearsay and not admissable in Canadian court. This guy had an ax to grind. Will the left believe any slander against our soldiers?
ReplyDeleteWhat slander? The guy says he will bring a witness if permitted and lead the government to the evidence. It doesn't matter if the allegations are true or not. There should nevertheless be a full public inquiry into this.
