Two frightening news stories:

-The 2000+ pages of heavily censored documents on the Afghan detainee scandal that the government recently made public seem to have been censored, not by non-partisan civil servants, but by Conservative officials.

-We learn that the government has, without warning, stopped reporting injuries in Afghanistan as they occur, and will instead only disclose an annual summary. They claim that this move is designed to withold information from the Taliban (as if the Taliban read the Globe and Mail). Something smells.

Conspiracy theories are easy traps to fall into, but it's hard to know what to believe these days. One fact, however, is clear: this government is evil.
