The Afghan Detainee Transfer Scandal is, or ought to be, one of the most important issues of the campaign.

The Afghan Detainee Transfer Scandal is not simply an 'internal matter'.

It is something that could seriously affect us domestically and devastate us with the International community of nations

After all, not only are there criminal sanctions in Canadian law but also Internationally which could possibly come into play

who knows, and that is the problem, at this point the public simply does not know.

During the election is not too late to finally bring this out in the open and hash it out.

How would it look if our Prime Minister and/or Ministers of the day were somehow embroiled with domestic criminal proceeding or the International Criminal Courts at the Hague.

How do you think that would affect International investment in Canada, our trade with other counties, especially those that base their trade on respect for human rights.

And how could we ever get a seat on the Security Counsel - Oh, I forgot we can't now.

The media, the opposition parties and everyone in Canada ought to stand together and demand that the information be released long before the end of the campaign and in particular sufficiently before the debate - or Harper and Ignatieff could hold another debate - ha, ha, ha - little joke.

Let's Clear the Air

Unless you feel it is simply just too complicated to discuss during an election, Mr. H.

Come on Media: shine that light into dark corners of government and assist the process of holding governments accountable. Let it shine, shine, shine, shine, shine

You can betcha if Harper gets a majority any reports will never likely see the light of day, never mind going to Court.
