Redacted, unredacted, reredacted

As I have detailed at some length, there exists a 2006 field report that references the abuse of a detainee transfered by Canadian soldiers to Afghan authorities.

When the field report was released in 2007, as part of a court proceeding, the reference to "assault" was redacted. You can view that version here.

When the field report was brought to the attention of General Walter Natynczyk last December, the general released the field report without redacting the reference to "assault." You can view that version of the field report here.

The field report is included in the documents tabled by the government today. The reference to "assault" is now, once more, redacted. You can view this version of the field report here, at page six of that file.
