How about simply produce the documents, unredacted per the order from Parliament.

Its the law.

I’ve always been impressed by Wesley Wark, and when he speaks up on an issue, I tend to believe there is some substance to it. He could be wrong, but his credentials are good in my book.

And Attaran explains his argument quite well here:

Hey Dan. I would fully expect that CSIS agents would have access to unlawful combatants captured in Afghanistan. That’s their job. Thank goodness we’re not relying on the CIA to out-task our intelligence services.

The story you cited does not add any information either way as to the allegations of Amir Attaran. So we’re still stuck with the CBC using unfounded allegations that don’t really add any real information for the Canadian public.

This post sums up my own perspective as well:
