Hey James, as a law professor perhaps you could clarify something for me. I have received correspondence from Amir Attaran, a law professor who has seen documents that show the Canadian government knowingly handed over detainees to be tortured in order to gather information. My question to you is, he said he could not disclose the information, would you know why? Is it because it could be a threat to national security?
His exact words were: "That said, rather recently I was permitted access to information which confirms that the hypothesis is correct. But at this moment I can't tell you what information, and since I am a law professor, you can pretty easily work out why I'm unable to say."

scott -- i'd be guessing but that seems to make sense.
