Well cock a doodle do me. I see the Cons have chickened out, and are cut and running from the Afghanistan torture and rape scandal.
And no wonder.
Canada was faulted by military allies in Afghanistan over the secretive manner with which it handled detainees in the early months of its Kandahar mission, The Globe and Mail has learned.
One of the complainants was British Colonel Dudley Giles, a senior military police officer with NATO's International Security Assistance Force the 40-plus nation coalition fighting insurgents in Afghanistan.

So slowly but surely the Con snowman is melting. All we've got to do is pour a little more road salt on it and it will soon be a PUDDLE. Either that or he will get a majority and we'll all be in JAIL... :)
