The opposition is worried about Taliban prisoners, how about they worry about what the Taliban did to their own people, especially women?
The Generals were worried about our troops on the ground. Those troops are risking their lives to protect Afghans from the Taliban.
In 2006 our troops were too busy trying to stay alive to care what happened to the people shooting to kill them. They still treated all prisoners with respect.
Our opposition parties look like they are in support of the Taliban with their little torture committee. It might play to the extreme lefties, but it makes most Canadians sick. The Taliban are despicable, and if you want to see torture, try googling taliban beheading. I am not recommending that anyone click on any of those links, I didn't, I don't have to actually see it to know it happens. Still, maybe someone should make our MP's watch some of those videos so they can get their heads straight, the Taliban are the enemy, not our troops.
General Hillier's testimony should have been embarrassing for the opposition, who mouthed, the required "we respect the troops" and went on to accuse the Generals and our troops of wrong doing. To see the whole thing, click here, it's worth watching.
The opposition have called the Generals liars and they responded back with facts. I would like to know which opposition MP called our Generals liars, because the Generals should sue them. So, who was it? Which MP called Hillier a liar outside of the protection of Parliament? Just because they are MP's should not give them the right to destroy a person's reputation for partisan reasons.
Preventing Ambassador Mulroney from testifying, is just playing political games. The opposition only want one side of the story presented. Do they understand that real lives are at stake in war? The lives of our troops are way more important than any "supposed" torture of the Taliban prisoners by Afghans. The Generals made that perfectly clear today.
Quit it, you are making yourselves look like idiots.
