The first thing that struck me in that article was that Graeme Smith was quoting an individual as the head of the NDS in Kandahar. The name he used is not one that I recognized, and it's not one that any of the senior leadership of the NDS recognized. So I'm not sure who he actually had spoken to. That caused me some concern.
The other one was that he was getting quotes from an individual from the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission, again an individual I hadn't heard of, but I assume he did work for that commission. The concern there is that this individual was quoted as being concerned about the fact that Canada was not providing—or it “would be nice if Canada provided”—the names of detainees who were transferred. Again that struck a chord with me, because for more than two months we had been doing exactly that. I signed an agreement personally with the head of the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission on February 20, at which point we said that we would provide those details, and we had been providing them.
Those two specific issues caused me concern—not with the whole article, but it caused me to question it a little bit.
