... and The Manley Report still failed to meet them.
Honestly, I didn't expect Manley & crew to do much other than glorify the wonderful things that Canadian troops are doing in Afghanistan, and trivialize the plethora of moral and ethical considerations that really should be talked about.
Manley did worse than trivialize them, he completely ignored them. Instead, his report focused upon the military statistics - which sound good until one looks just behind the curtains that they create. Numbers serve little real use when we wish to understand the real human aspects of the situation.
However, perhaps most appalling about Manley's report is it appears that he wrote most of the conclusions for an earlier article, and then went seeking the evidence to back it up. (h/t: The Galloping Beaver for bringing this point out)
The depressing thing is how much Canadian taxpayers paid for a piece of absolute drivel.
A progressive voice shining light into the darkness of regressive politics. Pretty much anything will be fair game, and little will be held sacred.
