I haven't noticed the Military Police Complaints Commission in the news for a while but I figured they'd surface sooner or later. They just won't quit.

A military police watchdog agency has subpoenaed senior federal officials and filed a court application to force the Conservative government to release information about the transfer of suspected Taliban fighters to Afghan custody.

The Military Police Complaints Commission is trying to get around what it considers roadblocks in its investigation of allegations that the Canadian military handed over prisoners knowing they would probably be tortured.

...

...subpoenas have been served on four former commanders of Canadian troops in Kandahar, the deputy minister of foreign affairs, four foreign affairs employees and the chief of the Correctional Service of Canada.

I'm guessing that Stephen Harper is getting really annoyed with these people. When I upgraded the software here to a version that supports tags, I tagged all the posts relating to this story with "Afghan detainees" so the history's easy enough to review if you've a mind to.

In a small place like Gitmo, It's pretty silly to think that the Canadians did'nt know what was going to happen to those high level detainees. Bush made sure that tourture was a way of life there.

Is this the case of the Afghan military torturing the prisoners ... or is it the case of the Afghan military sodomizing little boys? They are hard to keep straight.

The former. This inquiry would involve cases in which the Canadian Military Police were involved.
