More on the unbearable lightness of Denis Coderre

From Norman's Spectator:

What can I say?

"Kabul executions spark fresh concern over fate of detainees"(Globe)

Liberal defence critic Denis Coderre, in Kandahar on a fact-finding [my link - MC] mission, said he wondered whether the Afghan legal system was independent enough to allow such harsh treatment, recalling that the Taliban held public executions in soccer stadiums. "I'm against capital punishment so I'm very, very concerned," he said. "The Taliban were doing that. It's the same thing."

Update: I could not agree more with this post of Damian Brooks at The Torch:

Three wars and the truth

This piece by Michael Den Tandt encapsulates just about everything about the Afghan mission we've been trying to say at The Torch recently. But he says it much better than I've been able to, at least.

If you only read one link, today, make it this one.
