Harper has now tried to stall the release of uncensored documents on the Afghan torture affair by asking retired justice Frank Iacobucci to review the documents and recommend whether they should be disclosed. If Iacobucci has an ounce of integrity left, he will refuse to take part in an exercise designed to compound the government's already existing contempt of Parliament.

Surely, Iacobucci must know, as Thomas Walkom said in the Toronto Star:

ETA: It now appears that Iacobucci has accepted this ignominious task. When did he become Harper's top advisor on national security issues, anyway? What are his qualifications, exactly, to determine whether disclosure of information would injure national security? It's certainly not a legal question, and is in fact one on which judges invariably defer to the politicians and the security agencies. Is that what we can expect from iacobucci's "review"?
