10 Weekly Update into Afghanistan Situation

Weekly Update into Afghanistan Situation – April 2

-US President Barak Obama made a surprise visit to Afghanistan over the past week and there is speculation as to what exactly was its purpose. We revealed on the program last week that Hamid Karzai and the Afghanistan government clearly announced that they will not accept the transfer of detainees from Guantanomo, Cuba to Bagram Military Prison in Afghanistan. This has been the de facto US plan for closing down Guantanomo as promised by Obama during his election campaign. The Afghani Government, however, announced last week that they will not accept such a move as it would be a violation of Afghani soveriegnty. It could be that Obama’s visit to Afghanistan this past week was meant to discuss the situation regarding the transfer of prisoners with Karzai and the Afghani government. This is something that the US should have cleared up with the Afghanis before announcing their intentions for the Guantanomo prisoners.

-Other reasons that have been proposed for Obama’s surprise visit to Afghanistan, mainly by the US meanstream and alternative medias, are that after posting his health care triumph domestically, this was a show of solidarity with the troops to appease the hard-core right wing of American politics. It has also been contended that after the intensity of the domestic health care battle, Obama just wanted to “get away” from Washington for a while.

-Governmental hearings into the issues surrounding the Afghani detainee issue and Canada’s involvement continued in Ottawa yesterday, however, it is clear to any and all who have viewed, even briefly these proceedings, that the intent is not necessarily to discern Canada’s role in the torture of prisoners, but to protect Canada’s image when the questions of Canada’s culpability arise. One of the clearest examples of this that I witnessed yesterday was the Chairman of the committe, Kevin Sorensen, whose role as chairman is to objectively mediate the proceedings, actually cross-examining a witness from the Canadian Department of International Affairs and Cooperation, by making statements that the witness could agree or disagree with – not by asking questions of the witness on the stand.

-The witness did uphold that the Afghani security, NDS, had different legal definitions of torture then their Canadian counterparts and he also maintained that although Canadian forces were aware of this for at least 2 years, Canada continued to hand over detainees to the NDS – The Canadian government assertion that the NDS “took” these detainees from Canadian custody without Canadian complicity did not come through in the various testimonies.

Discussion Topic – Canadian Government hands over 2500 pages of documents relating to Afghnai Detainee Situation to Parliament – problems:

- 75% of the documents have been censored (the gov’t is using the word “redacted”)

- Opposition parties claim 2 things – this document dump will undermine Frank Iaccobucci’s inquiry / Providing the censored version of the documents is just another stalling tactic.

Interview w/ MP Thomas Mulcair – What the Afghani Detainee Documents Show

15 Michael Werbowski Presents: Interview w/ John Carlos Frey

John Carlos Frey has recently finished his latest film entitled, “The 800 Mile Wall.” This powerful new documentary takes an unflinching look at the U.S. border security strategy that many believe violates fundamental human rights.

25 Interview w/ Abdullah Al Malki

1. Discussion of the documentary film “Ghosts” which chronicles the struggles of all the victims of Canada’s Security Certificate policy which, according to the Iaccobucci Inquiry, was in part responsible for the unjustified and unwarranted detention and surveillance of the people in question.

2. Adil Charkaoui, one of the individuals targeted by Canada’s security certificate program, launched on Feb. 22nd a 24.5 million dollar civil lawsuit against the Federal Government for reparations, what do you think of the action by Charkaoui, and are you considering a similar move?
