Proof That Lefties Support Taliban Bombers!

The NP has an article about Afghan detainees. It appears that Canadians are buying into the detainee issue....or are they?

OTTAWA - A solid majority of Canadians believe prisoners detained by Canadian soldiers have been tortured after being transferred to Afghan authorities, a new Ipsos Reid poll suggests.

A fat majority also say that if torture occurred, it was not only wrong but that they believe there was widespread knowledge of it within the Canadian government -- and that senior officials should lose their jobs, if that was the case.

First off, I can't find the survey the NP is quoting. The newest released data at Ipsos Reid is whether the opposition can be trusted. In order to view the results, you need to pony up $95 a year.


So, not having the actual questions, I'm going to play with statistics.

Question 1: Given that the Afghan Muslims stone women to death for being raped, do you think that Afghan prisoners are tortured?

(Hint, you have to answer yes to this question)

Question 2: If our Canadian troops hand over captured Taliban who are prone to chopping off woman's heads, do you think they might be tortured by Afghans?

(Hint, you have to answer yes)

Question 3: Given that the Taliban throw acid in young girls faces for going to school, do you think that they might be tortured?

(Hint, you have to answer yes)

Pollster John Wright said Canadians are saying they "care deeply" about the possibility of detainees being tortured after Canadian soldiers have transferred them to Afghan custody.

"They're saying it's not proper, it should have stopped and, if it didn't, somebody should have done something about it," he said.

Of the 61% who believe torture occurred, 59% said they think the tactic was routine, compared to 34% who believe it happened only on rare occasions, the poll suggests.

Quebecers were more likely to believe transferred detainees were tortured. Seventy-six per cent of them took that position, whereas residents of Alberta were the least likely to believe it, at 44%.

Question 4: Do you "care deeply" that murdering detainees might be tortured by the Afghans?

(Hint, you only care if you are Taliban lovers and could care less about young Afghan girls)

Question 5: If your daughter was raped and then sentenced to death, do you believe in the Afghan government as a way to protect your child?

(Do you seriously need a hint for this one?)

A majority said that if it is determined that officials knew as far back as 2007 that torture was taking place and didn't do anything to stop it, or denied it was happening at all, then top bosses should be ousted from their jobs.

Fifty-seven per cent said the defence minister, now Peter MacKay, should be forced to resign, and 56% said the chief of defence staff, currently Walter Natynczyk, should go.

Question 6: If you send troops into a desert fight in green camo, should the Minister be responsible?

(Hint, it was the Liberals who did this)

Question 7: If officials knew back in 2001, when the troops where first sent over to Afghanistan that torture was the norm, should the Liberals be held to account?

(Hint, the press have a short memory and therefore they blame everything on the Conservatives, and ignore the FACT that it was the Liberals who had a bad transfer agreement and it was the Conservatives who fixed it).

This poll appears to be very biased, but I can't really tell because the results would cost me $95, and I'm not one of those rich Liberal bloggers who can afford to see the results.

This poll proves that lefties support Taliban Bombers, and think women killed for minor "crimes" do not matter. It is a sad statement of our lefty people, they used to support the down trodden, now they support terrorists. Is it fear?

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.

Read this link. Pentagon Bans Four Journalists From Guantanamo Bay for Reporting Interrogator #1’s Name

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.

Torture Liberal Style!

So many mixed messages, such looney times. I can't keep up with all the protests for Tamil terrorists, and against ex-Preidents, and let's not even mention global warming! Still the lefties are doing what they know best....nothing but protest. Has Gore ever actually planted a tree? Why did an anti-police brutality protest turn violent? Should pre-kindergarten kids be used in a protest? Do any of these people work?

Let's compare and contrast some of the news these days.

First up here in Canada, the lefties are gearing up to protest against GW Bush. What did he do? Sent his troops into combat because of 9/11, but hey, don't let over 3000 innocent people killed by terrorists stop you lefties, Bush....he's the problem.

Over the weekend, activists held a mock trial and found Mr. Bush guilty of committing war crimes and urged authorities to arrest him when he steps foot on Canadian soil.

A group of lawyers had previously written to Canadian officials including Prime Minister Stephen Harper asking that Mr. Bush be barred from visiting Canada in light of crimes allegedly committed in Afghanistan, Iraq and Guantanamo Bay.

Lawyers Against The War allege that Mr. Bush “is a person credibly accused of torture and other gross human rights violations, crimes against humanity and war crimes” and ask for permission to prosecute him.

Torture they scream! Crimes against humanity! War Crimes! Yes I agree, but it's not GW Bush that's the problem.

Many dead in Taliban Kabul attacks

Up to ten gunmen wearing suicide bomb vests and armed with assault rifles stormed two heavily-guarded government buildings; an attack on a third site was thwarted after police shot dead a lone militant.

A Taliban spokesman said the attacks - which bore similarities to the recent militant assault on the Indian city of Mumbai - were carried out in protest at the treatment of Taliban prisoners.

Because of the treatment of Taliban prisoners they killed 20 people? Let's see that torture....

The International Committee of the Red Cross concluded in a secret report that the Bush administration's treatment of Al Qaeda captives in CIA prisons "constituted torture," The Washington Post reported on Monday.....

One incident is described by Abu Zubaydah, a Palestinian man who ran Al Qaeda recruitment. Zubaydah said in the weeks after he was captured, he was shackled naked while listening to consistent music or static. He also says he had limited nourishment and was not allowed to sleep.

What! No beheading? No acid in the face? No hanging? He didn't get to eat and sleep when he wanted to, such torture! Well let's just release that poor innocent guy and let him become a model citizen, like this one:

Officials: Taliban's New Top Operations Officer Is Former Guantanamo Bay Detainee

U.S. authorities handed over the detainee to the Afghan government, which in turn released him, according to Pentagon and CIA officials.

Abdullah Ghulam Rasoul, formerly Guantanamo prisoner No. 008, was among 13 Afghan prisoners released to the Afghan government in December 2007. Rasoul is now known as Mullah Abdullah Zakir, a nom de guerre that Pentagon and intelligence officials say is used by a Taliban leader who is in charge of operations against U.S. and Afghan forces in southern Afghanistan.

Southern Afghanistan, isn't that where our Canadian troops are? Nice, maybe Khadr can join this guy soon, and our troops can return them to their families.

Oh, and the mysteriously leaked Red Cross document on torture? I have to ask, who is monitoring the Red Cross? Look at their history, by their own definition of torture, they are also guilty of it.

For example, during the Great 1927 Flood that destroyed large parts of the Mississippi Delta and Louisiana, Black farm laborers and sharecroppers without a doubt suffered the most. As John Barry documents in his epic history of the flood, Rising Tide, delta plantation owners refused to evacuate them out of the region for fear--rightly--that most wouldn't return to their miserable, slave-like conditions.

The Red Cross came in to provide temporary housing and food aid. What African Americans of the Delta got was prison-like camps where they were routinely beaten by white, racist National Guardsmen. Food distributed by the Red Cross was given to whites first, and if anything was left, it went to Black survivors.

In recent years, the image of the Red Cross has been tarnished. The worst scandal came after the September 11 attacks, when it was revealed that a large portion of the hundreds of millions of dollars donated to the organization went not to survivors or family members of those killed, but to other Red Cross operations, in what was described by chapters across the country as a "bait-and-switch" operation.

Can lefties get anymore ridiculous? Protests of naked people rolling in fake blood to save some seals? That is lefty reality. The dying media has been trumpeting these people, maybe that's why the industry is dying. You think?
