February 1, 2011 - The Canadian Forces must strengthen the independence of the military police, say civil rights lawyers who argue the links between investigators and the subjects they're tasked with investigating lies at the heart of the Afghan detainee affair.
In final written submissions to the Military Police Complaints Commission (MPCC), lawyers representing Amnesty International Canada and the B.C. Civil Liberties Association argued those responsible for investigating allegations of detainee abuse failed to ask the right questions of commanders for fear of intruding on and disrupting the chain of command.
In the absence of a public inquiry, the quasi-judicial commission has become the sole forum for a full examination of the issue, which first surfaced in 2006 and culminated with diplomat Richard Colvin's explosive testimony that senior Canadian officials ignored torture documented by human rights groups, Canadian Foreign Affairs staff and the U.S. State Department. {continued}
In 2003 some 72% of Americans fully supported the Abandoning of the Missions and those Sent to Accomplish so extremely Quickly after 9/11!!At least some 95%, if not more as less then 1% serve them, not only still support the, just below, total lack of Sacrifice, they ran from any and all Accountability and left everything still on the table to be continually used if the political/military want was still in play in future executive/legislative wants!!
