The brink
The latest, and perhaps last, meeting of all parties to negotiate a release of Afghan detainee documents will be this afternoon at 4:15pm. The Bloc and NDP indicated last week that this would likely be their last day before returning to the House. Over the weekend, while trying to sound as unthreatening as possible, Michael Ignatieff put an onus on today’s meeting.
And now, adding to the drama, new documents emerge indicating Canadian military officials were displeased with Richard Colvin’s reporting.
