Peter J. Tinsley may yet get his wish.

Efforts to thwart public hearings into allegations that Canada knowingly transferred prisoners to likely torturers in Afghanistan were dealt another defeat yesterday by a federal court judge who denied the government's application for an indefinite stay.

The Chair of the Military Police Complaints Commission has been trying to hold public hearings into this matter since March of last year. The government could still try and stop it but according to this story Justice Anne Mactavish was pretty firm in rejecting all of the government's arguments. So maybe Hapless Harper will take the hint and just get out of the way. Finally.

H/t to Scott Tribe.
