Conservatives attack credibility of whistleblower - torture
 

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.

To refresh my memory - 'Thousands of lived were suddenly ended by evil.'

A French book Bin Laden, la verite interdite (Bin Laden, the forbidden truth) claims that the Bush Administration halted investigations into terrorist activities related to the bin Laden family and began planning for a war against Afghanistan before 9-11.

The authors, Jean-Charles Brisard and Guillaume Dasquie, are French intelligence analysts. Dasquie, an investigative reporter, publishes Intelligence Online, which is a respected newsletter on economics and diplomacy. Brisard worked for French secret services and in 1997 wrote a report on the Al Qaeda network.
