Lately, prorogation of Parliament has been reminding us of little children who close their eyes in order to make problems, or croque-mittaine, go away.

Mr. Prime Minister, Canadians count on their leaders to be at work and represent their values. We also count on our leaders to send a clear message about human rights issues: first and foremost, by adressing the problems directly and forthrightly. A full public Commission of Inquiry into the handling of Aghan detainees is absolutely necessary. Canada's credibility is at stake. Respectfully, Janet Ledwell Montreal, Quebec H2T 3A2

Colvin deserves the Order of Canada! This country has ideals. We expect our leadership to have the same.

To be brutally honest, your governments efforts to disrupt and shut down the investigation at all costs, only convince people that you have something to hide -- which is a really unintelligent move, if you are indeed innocent. In any case, ignoring a moral and legal issue as a strategic one, illustrates your poor character and how inappropriate you are to lead this country.

Please do not discount these comments simply because they come to you electronically, and through the offices of Amnesty International. I can imagine no organization that is more earnestly determined to make each of our experiences on earth one of security, not torture. Please let me know what you plan to do about this matter.

Please do not ignore this important issue. Canada has the capacity to be a leader in human rights. It is time to be honest about what has happened. Otherwise, we know that it will keep on occurring again and again.

While your Afghanistan Committee members were boycotting, the committee heard from NGO witnesses who gave credible evidence that the current detainee agreement is not working and torture is continuing. Every minute you delay is another minute of torture for a human being. All human beings deserve human rights.

Stifling inquiry into a matter of human rights and torture smacks of dictatorship. Surely this democratic government is capable of accepting criticism if such is the case. If not, let the truth speak for itself.

Killing the messenger, albeit metaphorically, is not the solution. Treating it as a partisan issue reflects bad faith. Good faith requires that we remove any shadow of complicity in torture by the Canadian government and all of its agencies. No one is above the law. That is why an inquiry is again required: apparently the lessons learned in the Maher inquiry have not yet penetrated the thinking of certain elements of our government.

I do believe your act of prorogation is a tawdry effort to cover up what could well be wide spread criminal complicity in this scandal. Get back to work and face the music like a man!
