I should say, and I think I mentioned it at the beginning, this was one of maybe 15 issues I had. In the summer and fall of 2006, we were really caught up in Operation Medusa, trying to get forces down to replace the Canadians. There was a lot of activity just in security issues and narcotics issues, police reform. I was mostly busy with that. I wasn't really following this quite as closely as I should have.
Then in the late summer or fall we heard about problems. ISAF complained they weren't getting information from the Canadian Forces. That was when I began to think maybe something more systemic was going on.
Then around early 2007 it really began to sink in to me that these problems, which I thought had been rectified--and I should probably have followed up and checked--had not, or they had been temporarily fixed and then seem to have recurred. The underlying problem of transfer and what happened after transfer had not been addressed.
