It's Tuesday so there must be a new set of talking points.


Last Friday, we had this (all emphasis added):

Tories dismiss Afghan torture allegations despite no investigation

The embattled Conservative government is pushing a new line about claims of prisoner abuse in Afghanistan - it didn't happen...

[Stockwell] Day accused the opposition again Friday of believing "false allegations" of torture made by insurgents.

He insisted that two Corrections Canada officers in Kandahar have had full access to Afghan prisons, and that they have a mandate to report prisoner abuse.

Well, it's Tuesday and, right on schedule, we have a completely different story:

Canadian officials reported Afghan torture allegations, Tories now reveal

The Conservative government conceded Monday that it has received reports from Canadian officials about alleged torture in Afghan jails.

Tune in later as we watch the Blogging Tories frantically redefine the words "report" and "torture."

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Just kidding, of course -- none of them give a fuck, remember?

It get's better...apparently there are no Canadian Corrections officials in Afghanistan, at least according to the Afghan embassador....
