Release Those Documents, Or Maybe Not.

We are at war. We have our brave troops fighting and dying in Afghanistan. Back at home, we have the opposition DEMANDING to know everything about our release of detainees to Afghan authorities. They are more interested in protecting Taliban terrorists, who by the way, are killing our troops, than supporting our troops.

They have no proof of torture, they have one diplomat, who never went outside the wire, thinking that ALL detainees were tortured, but no proof. Still they have DEMANDED all documents, because when you are on a witch hunt, you can't get anywhere without proof. So, the documents are going to be released to selected MP's from all parties, including the separatists. Should we trust them? Not likely.

First, we have Iggy calling a special Sunday press conference to tell the PM that he should keep the current GG. The PM asked the Queens secretary to ask the leaders of all parties for their opinions on who the next GG should be. The Liberals couldn't help make it a political issue. Are they university students or mature Members of Parliament who can keep secrets....secret?

Second, we see what will happen if the press actually gets their hands on those secret documents. From Alberta Ardvark's blog:

The Star,G&M, and Canwest forced to CHANGE reporters at Gitmo.

GUANTANAMO BAY — Two weeks’ worth of proceedings in the pre-trial hearing of Omar Khadr found an unexpected meta-conclusion this afternoon as the public affairs shop in the Office of the Secretary of Defense banned four reporters from returning to Guantanamo Bay. Their offense: reporting the name of a witness whose identity is under a protective order.

The four journalists are Michelle Shephard of the Toronto Star, Steven Edwards of Canwest, Paul Koring of the Globe & Mail and Carol Rosenberg of the Miami Herald. They are not being thrown off the base, but, as of now, they are barred from returning.

Three of the four banned journalists are CANADIAN reporters! Talk about embarrassing Canada! They are so arrogant that they think the laws don't apply to them, because they are sure Omar is an innocent, little baby boy, who would never have done anything wrong, except for the fact that our troops were in Afghanistan. So, it's all our troops fault.

Do we seriously want any confidential documents to get into the hands of those journalists? Can we trust the Liberals, who love leaking documents to the media, to not leak any of those documents? We know the Liberals even let reporters write their questions for them, and now, we are to believe that for purely political reasons, they will not leak to the Liberal friendly press?

Release those documents, or maybe not! I would feel much safer if those documents were kept secret, at least until our troops are home, and safe.

Prisoners? They Want Prisoners?

Well, here is the solution to Obama's Gitmo problems. Let's see, Gitmo has some prisoners that need a new home, and we have some innocent people being held by terrorists.

I would be perfectly willing to have an exchange. Our Canadian diplomats are worth one Canadian Gitmo prisoner, heck they are worth at least 40 Gitmo terrorists.

Al-Qaeda want prisoner exchange for Canadian diplomats

UNITED NATIONS -- Suspected kidnappers of two Canadian diplomats on a United Nations mission to Niger have set a "prisoner exchange" as a condition for their release, Canwest News Service has learned.

This emerges as al-Qaeda's wing in North Africa Tuesday claimed responsibility for holding Robert Fowler and his Foreign Affairs aide Louis Guay -- as well as four Western tourists kidnapped in Niger's neighbour Mali, near the border between the two countries.

Six innocents for 40 prisoners from Gitmo, just make sure that Omar Khadr is one of those prisoners exchanged. Lefties should be happy with that solution, Khadr would go free, and Gitmo would start to get cleared out. It's a win win solution!

Neither Canada nor the UN would have control over any prisoners the kidnappers might seek in the region.

As such, officials assigned to the search for the trio fear the quest for a resolution will be lengthy, sources said on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the investigation.

Now, I'm not sure how all those Gitmo prisoners will get along with the North African Al Qaeda, but I'm sure they can work it out. They are all brothers aren't they? HA!

Why aren't the Al Qaeda asking for their terrorists back from Gitmo if it is such a hellhole? Guess there is no honour amongst terrorists.
