Unfortunately, Buckdog, I am not convinced that we will ever find out. We will only find out if all three opposition parties are willing to go to the mat on this. They have to not only demand an inquiry but they have to demand that the Sergeant of Arms go a physically obtain the documents. Otherwise, the Con-men will just ride it out until summer and all will be forgotten.

The good news is that a day will come when the Conservatives will not be in power. At that time, the new government of the day will have a moral obligation to reveal the who-what-when of Canadian involvement in torture.

Harper has a day of reckoning circled on the nations calendar.

Well, we thought ol' GWB an' Cheney had a day of reckoning circled on their calendars, too.

This Parliament must assert its supremacy. Those who condone or promote torture must be called to account. New governments too often have a tendency to forgive the sins of previous governments.

How long before some of the docs get leaked? When that happens, Harper and MacKay and O'Connor and Hillier are going to have to come clean. Most Canadians have decent human values. We know that torture is wrong and no amount of fear-mongering is going to change that.

A moral obligation, you say! Well! That seals it, then, doesn't it?

Let's say we were counting on the CPC to be morally obliged to do something. How confident would you be that it would get done?

Now let's say we were counting on an unspecified party selected at random. If you feel any different about that party's moral fortitude than you do about the CPC, you are a schmuck.
