On shady deals

I'll have more to say about the apparent deal on Afghan detainee documents once it's released in full. But for now, suffice it to say if in fact the Harper government has insistent on being able to withhold documents even from the secret committee (whether that decision is made by the Cons directly or the panelists appointed only with their agreement), then the NDP's stand against ceding Parliamentary authority looks to be the only reasonable response.
