Canadian human-rights lawyer [Ronald Poulton]'s intentions in Cambodia and Tajikistan were to see justice done by encouraging both countries to adopt and use Western legal systems and practices -- presumption of innocence, an independent judiciary, the golden chain of evidence that John Mortimer's Rumpole of the Bailey proclaims from beneath his powdered wig at the Old Bailey. How can Poulton scold the "warden" of a prison where the prisoners are shackled to the floor each night, when the doors of the prison won't lock, the prison is short staffed, the prisoners have lied to him, and he knows that other similar prisons are much more brutal in their treatment of their captives ? Whatever the hopes were for the UN after the Second World War, it's hard to imagine that Lester Pearson, with ...

The first thing that came to mind Wednesday as I sat at the University of Manitoba, listening to [Flora MacDonald] describe the Afghanistan that she knows, was: Wow, she's 82 and she's bombing around Afghanistan -- in a truck, with a friend, who is also attending to the gritty details of redevelopment in that country, visiting rural villages and checking out the northern borderlands abutting Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. Ms. MacDonald, who still lives with the locals, sleeps on their floors and eats their humble meals, recalled being confronted by two Taliban on a street in 2001. "They came up to me and said they knew what I was doing." An arresting thought, given the brutal form of Shariah law administered by those who ran the repressive regime. The black-turbaned men had a deal she could...

We're walking away from here disappointed," Canadian diving coach Mitch Geller testified. "And not disappointed because luck didn't go our way. I feel that we gave that medal away. That medal was really there to get because we know where everybody's weaknesses are and where we were weak we didn't expect to be. "I'll tell you, we're nervous from the get-go because we know how many variables there are in the pool, for sure," he replied, when asked if it was too soon to start plucking Chicken Little. "As far as Canada goes, we want to see some medals start coming in. "I've been cheering for the Vancouver Canucks for how long," the Mission, B.C. swimmer said. "And they still have never won a Stanley Cup. I still love them. I hope Canadians can think of us the same way."

The NATO command said a "large number of insurgents" were killed or injured in the pre-dawn attack near the village of Omar Khel in Kunduz province. An Afghan police officer said the 90 dead included about 40 civilians who were siphoning fuel from the trucks. She said that NATO and the Afghan government are investigating reports of civilian casualties. Another NATO spokesman said fuel tankers are often used in suicide attacks. Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said insurgents hijacked the trucks as they were headed from Tajikistan to supply NATO forces in Kabul.

We have serious grounds to think that there were U.S. citizens right in the combat zone," he said the interview broadcast on state-run Russian television. "And if that's so, if that is confirmed, it's very bad. It's very dangerous. "The American side in fact armed and trained the Georgian army," [Vladimir Putin] said. "Why hold years of difficult talks and seek complex compromise solutions in interethnic conflicts? It's easier to arm one side and push it into the murder of the other side, and it's over. White House press secretary Dana Perino called Putin's contentions "patently false." She said "it also sounds like his defence officials who said they believe this to be true are giving him really bad advice."
