@JMR, Exactly. Even if Harper showed the documents to the party leaders only, that would probably mollify the opposition.

@Red Forever, Actually, I want Rat to urge the CPC to campaign on a platform that all other parties are communisits and will betray Canada's secrets so we should only elect CPC MP's.

STRAW MAN ARGUMENT!!!!!

Do some reading of the Canadian constitution, and then come back here and resubmit your argument.

Parliament is supreme, and has ordered the release of unredacted documents.

If we are fighting for human rights, and democracy in Afghanistan, the best wat to honour the sacrifices of our troops is to hold the higher ups responsible for their actions.

If we are fighting for democracy in Afghanistan, we should fight for it here.

Frankly the CPC is a disgrace and an insult to democracy.

The CPC should be ashamed of themselves.

This whole thing is a farce, and a smoke screen.

I have asked this many times. Why is it retired generals and now a retired judge is allow full access to the detainee documents when elected members of parliament are not. All members of parliament are sworn in not just the government members therefore they should all be equal.

I wonder,if Parliament is supreme, does that mean any document must be surrendered to parliament if parliament orders it? I wonder how many intelligence officers, or agents, or even military commanders would sit by and let an (ex??)communist organizer like Ujjy Dosanjh have a free read through all those incredibly sensitive documents? If the Afghan detainee docs ARE secret for a reason, and you can’t say they aren’t, then how can we trust that the Liberals with Ujjy, or any member of the NDP, or the separatist Bloc, not to disclose what they find for partisan gain? I’m sorry, but claiming the supremacy of Parliament in a minority situation, on an issue that smacks of partisan wranglings, and one that could leave Canadian soldiers vulnerable, well, I hope you will excuse me if I just don’t trust you, your party, or your motives. I’d rather trust Iaccobucci.

Big and *expensive* at $500-600/hour. Much like Flaherty’s $10,000 airplane junket for a Timbit photo-op.
