From the link, "Obviously there could be a multitude of different explanations for that," Neve said in an interview. "We're not at all even reaching any tentative conclusions that Canadian soldiers have been responsible for ill-treatment or abuse. But allegations are out there and there are some injuries that were suffered so it's perfectly appropriate ... for there to be a review." Don't try to pin something on Canadian troops when the allegations were made in early Feb. There has been a review and the problem has been dealt with. ..and if you had bothered to find out, you would have found that the new policy is that when prisoners are handed over to the Afghan military, Canada will now be given access to those prisoners. It seems the Afghans are treated very roughly by their own people. You'll have to dig a little deeper than that, Keith. Its dropped off the front page because it has been dealt with. Pointing your finger at Canadian troops does not pardon anything the British have done or continue to do.
