Oh yeah, that stuff we said about no torture ...nix that

CanWest News Service reports that torture tales are credible

While the Conservative government continues to deny there is any proof that torture occurs in Afghan prisons, the emergence of a letter to Foreign Affairs Minister Peter MacKay last year asked NATO to curb such abuses.
It also conceded that Canadian officials in Afghanistan had heard allegations of abuse.
New York-based Human Rights Watch copied Canadian Foreign Minister MacKay in a letter dated Nov. 28, 2006, that cited "credible reports" of torture and abuse in Afghan prisons.
The letter blamed Afghanistan's National Directorate of Security, or NDS, which Defence Minister Gordon O'Connor said last week had agreed to grant full access to Canadian officials to monitor the well-being of detainees transferred there by Canadian troops.
O'Connor's announcement of the NDS "arrangement" turned out to be premature; it caught MacKay off guard, and was later found to be a deal that was still being negotiated.
