This headline got toned down, since yesterday when it WAS an attack. I think there is a big alphabet agency story (including CSIS (Canada)) here about black prisons, extraordinary rendition, international law. The Netherlands actually kept records; Canada has none, about these shipments to Afghan prisons.

Tories work to undermine diplomat who blew whistle on torture
The Harper government is training its guns on a diplomat whistleblower who says Canada was complicit in the torture of captured Afghan prisoners, trying to undermine Richard Colvin's credibility as pressure builds to hold a public inquiry into the matter.
