"Priyanka is over worked and under-paid"-Samir Soni
With Madhur Bhandarkar's Fashion, Samir Soni is now all set to hit the silver screen once again..
With Madhur Bhandarkar's Fashion, Samir Soni is now all set to hit the silver screen once again, this time for his bold move to play a gay designer without any qualms. With research as the key and the temperament to be as authentic as possible, without offending or hurting any community unintentionally, Samir Soni is clear that it is his histrionics that should talk. A tete-a-tete with Samir Soni...
I am an actor and any role that comes to me and is challenging is exciting to me I loved the character that director Madhur Bhandarkar offered me. The understanding was clear. The gayness of the character would not override his personality.
How did you design the look of the character…
It was a very interesting look for my character, Rahul Arora. He would wear mascara but would have stubble. And we had to draw that healthy balance.
How did you play the character? Was there any particular person you looked up to for this character?
There was a lot of research that went into the role. Madhur and I attended as many fashion shows as we could in Mumbai and Delhi even during the shoot. The pre-show interaction of the designer and the models and the post-show parties were very important.
Some designers even allowed us to be there in the rehearsals to see the relationship between the model and the designer. Madhur is a stickler for accuracy and that was important. Even during the shoot, leading ramp choreographers and models -- someone or the other was always there, every detail was taken care of. Authenticity was the focus. We do not want to offend anyone.
Would the designers be themselves when they knew that you were looking for clues to play one of them?
Well we were quite discreet and never let anyone know that we were observing and later would exchange notes on how to shape the character.
What was exciting about playing a gay designer?
It was exciting on several levels. Firstly I had never played such character before and I don't think anyone would expect me to play it. Also, the character was so beautifully etched out that it would be any actor's dream. But most importantly, the challenge of playing a gay designer convincingly, without stereo typing it and hoping the masses accept him and see beyond his sexual orientation. For the latter I was lucky to have Madhur guiding me and at the same time giving me the space to experiment.
He was a designer and just that his sexual orientation happened to be different. I have friends who are gay and thy talk of their boyfriends the same way I would talk about a girlfriend. There is nothing different about them otherwise. Mean, there are gays that you don't know are gays unless you were told. It was the essence of the character that was exciting and you can say that I got more than my share of compliments from the females and the males.
To quote her she's "over worked and under-paid". Jokes aside she's a fine actor and a very sensitive girl. Though, most of the film I kept my distance, firstly because I'm comfortable with that and secondly because I thought it would help our scenes, since my character is this successful fashion designer and she an up coming model. I wanted to make that equation on screen come out strong. Whenever I saw her I wanted to see a struggling model and the successful actress that she is.
You are perceived as snobbish due to your introvertedness?
Yes I am an introvert and that's the way I have always been since childhood. From time to time I do make the effort to be more outgoing and friendly but find it too exhausting and just cant sustain it, more so at work. I keep a lot to myself during shoots unless the scene requires otherwise. Sometimes people do misunderstand that but unfortunately I can't help it. Also, I'd rather conserve my energy and give a hundred percent to my work. I find it difficult to live with myself if I'm unable to give it all whether it's a film, a play or a 30 second add.
How was it working with Madhur Bhandarkar?
Madhur is the warmest nicest guy I have met as a director. I have never met a director who is so hassle free and easy going, always open for suggestions. And I have never seen him stressed or shout or anything on the set. He never says pack up. He says Vande Mataram. That is his sign off statement.
What next?
There is Sanjay Gupta's Alibaug and an Englsh arthouse film My Friend Dragonman. But for now, I am awaiting Fashion. I think I have done a good job in this film and the critic in me agrees too!

Subject: [Fwd: Re[2]: Concern with basic ebXML TRP Syntax/Semantics]
-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re[2]: Concern with basic ebXML TRP Syntax/Semantics Date: Fri, 07 Apr 2000 11:56:39 -0400 From: "Mark CRAWFORD"<email@example.com> To: <firstname.lastname@example.com> CC: <email@example.com> Chris, I think we will have to agree to disagree. My argument all along has been that we are about XML, not using the guise of ebXML for individuals to resurrect their pet technology standards projects of the last several years. (and I am not just talking about TRP, but some of the other efforts within ebXML as well). If webMethods can exchange information using XML wrappers, and if BizTalk can exchange information using XML wrappers (yes I know they use mime to encapsulate binary objects within the XML document instance), then why can't we? And oh by the way, if MIME is the answer and simple e-mail attachments are the best solution, explain to me how come people still have serious email and attachment interoperability problems? Also, if we are going to use MIME as the only ebXML solution, which MIME RFC are we going to use? At a more basic level, there is a philosophy issue that I am afraid is being overlooked. In the ISO and IETF world, there is a lot of good standards work that goes on by some very smart people, but in many cases that work is just for the sake of building standards without regard to who really wants them. My clients really could care less about ebXML if it is just rehashing IETF MIME or OO technology, or Open EDI, or Business Message Modeling, or X12 SITG registry and repository, or any of the other hidden agenda's that I see moving behind the scenes of ebXML. I can only sell ebXML as a solution if it provides XML based standards for exchange - and more importantly - content. We are not headed in that direction, and I am under increasing pressure to just go implement CommerceOne or webMethods and stop the XML "standards" push. Despite all the ebXML stuff about creating an interoperable technical framework, the real interest being expressed by my clients is in standardizing the content, not the wrapper so they know what data elements they need to support in their databases and applications (databases and applications that will not be moving to an OO environment for years and years). If TRP believes that XML technology does not support all of requirements for interchange they have addressed, then I believe this is an issue for the entire ebXML plenary not just TRP. There are a number of alternatives open - 1) Provide XML solutions for those requirements that can be addressed (reduce requirements) 2) Provide dual path XML and MIME solutions 3) Provide a MIME solution and publically state that we are not developing XML based solutions, but another MIME standard for exchanging XML content because the technology is too immature to support B2B data exchanges. . Mark Mark Crawford Research Fellow ______ LMI Logistics Management Institute 2000 Corporate Ridge, McLean, VA 22102-7805 (703) 917-7177 Fax (703) 917-7518 email@example.com http://www.lmi.org "Opportunity is what you make of it" ------------------------------------------------- Chris Ferris Wrote - Mark, Not at all! Again, I think that the issue is getting overblown. The MIME wrapper is merely a means of packaging XML documents (header information and payload) which can be: - parsed separately so that for routing purposes, the entire message need not be parsed - separately signed (there might be a different certificate applied to the header than to the payload) - include non-XML content such as medical images (JPEG, MPEG) and more. The MIME use is simply a mechanism which existing technology can handle, enabling SME's to jump right in without having to expend significant resources. There does not yet exist a W3C XML packaging specification to achieve these aims. Our intent is to submit these requirements to the W3C so that they are considered in any packaging work and ultimately so that the ebXML packaging approach can be migrated (in a later release) to such technology. Chris ------------------------------------- Mark CRAWFORD wrote: > Chris, > > Perhaps we should just change our name to ebMime since TRP considers XML too immature or hard. > > Mark > Mark Crawford > Research Fellow --------------------------------------------------------- Chris Ferris Wrote - Kit, While I wasn't able to participate the the f2f meeting in Dallas and can't speak to the finalized packaging minutia I can address this from the perspective of one of the members of the packaging sub-team. We discussed this in depth in the packaging sub-team. We felt that there was inadequate support in the various W3C XML recommendations to support our requirements which follow: - Able to handle large documents - Able to envelope any document type - Minimize intrusion to payload (special encodings or alterations) - Minimize potential for abnormal termination caused by envelopes - Facilitate a migration path for existing installed base and technologies - Low processing overhead - Support for recursive documents - Able to preserve digital signatures - Able to unambiguously identify signed data To quote Dick's minutes of our sub-team meeting: <db> Both MIME and XML were discussed relative to these requirements. It was the groups consensus that MIME was better positioned today to meet the stated requirements. However, it was also believed that XML would mature as a packaging technology and the ebXML group should continue to monitor XML's progress for possible inclusion at a later date. It was also believed that Microsoft may have addressed some of the issues affecting XML's packaging ability. Dick Brooks accepted an action item to contact Microsoft to request information describing BizTalk's packaging functions to see if this may provide an XML packaging solution that meets the above requirements. </db> Another consideration in our work, and something clearly called out in the ebXML requirements document are the vision bullets. Specifically: - is fully compliant with W3C XML technical specifications holding a recommended status - maximizes interoperability and efficiency while providing a transition path from accredited electronic data interchange (EDI) and developing XML business standards The first is key. It refers to W3C technical specifications holding a *recommended* status. The second is also key. It refers to a requirement to enable existing solutions such as RosettaNet and EDI/INT, etc. to interoperate (at least that's how I read it). This second bullet is called out again in the "General ebXML Principles" section in the Requirements document. Someone certainly thinks it s important. I for one concur. Another consideration which went into our thinking is the availability of software to handle the package. HTTP and SMTP clients and servers already support MIME and are both inexpensive and widely available if not ubiquitous. In the Requirements document, under the TR&P sub-section, #2 "Leveraging existing technology encompasses both the ability to interoperate with existing technology as well as the ability to migrate to the new technology". In fact, that whole section pretty much sums it up for me. I believe that there is consensus that ultimately, we will transition to an XML-based approach to packaging, but at least for the first go, MIME is the only solution which satisfies all of the requirements. To my knowledge, the ebXML Requirements document doesn't say "use XML to the exclusion of any other technology just because". MIME seems to meet our requirements and since the content of the MIME segments is XML (except in cases where an "attachment" is of some other type such as image, etc.) we're also meeting the spirit of the ebXML requirements. If you have knowledge of a purely XML-based packaging solution which meets all of the stated requirements, and which the packaging sub team has missed in its considerations, I'm sure that we'd be glad to reconsider.

text: Classic piano trio (the title means in fact "three" in the Apache language) led by a Horace Tapscott alumnus – who has played, among others, with David Murray, Han Bennink, John Tchicai and Louis Moholo-Moholo – escorted by two sons of trumpeter Dennis Gonzalez, Aaron on bass and Stefan on drums. I confess to be a first-class sucker for anything piano-related, from an edge to the other – Greg Goodman to Rainer Brüninghaus, if you get the picture – and among my primary references as far as improvisation is concerned stands Cecil Taylor. Thus a somewhat childish admiration for brilliant handlers of the blacks and whites – Clark definitely belongs there – is all but warranted. In segments like "Joy", the influence of traditional styles (blues in particular) is clearly audible; luckily, obligations for à-la-mode avantgard-ism do not find citizenship anywhere. Chords and flurries sound unambiguous, articulated with exactitude and intelligibility yet endowed with the right quantity of reminiscence and respect. The Gonzalezes bring in a healthy dose of attentive support, avoiding the trespassing of the border of appropriateness even when left by themselves for solos. A "quiet afternoon" kind of jazz, adequately rewarding despite the non-revolutionary fragrance.

A friend of mine, obviously bored out of his proverbial gourd, sent me a selected piece of text from some reading on "Service Oriented Architecture."
Here's what he sent:
Technical staff know service oriented architecture as an architectural style centered on decomposition of the solution along service boundaries aligned with the business and in accordance with sound service oriented principles.
Then my friend appropriately proclaimed, "I'm afraid I'm dumber for reading it…"
Really, guys. Really?
"Breaking processes into relevant service tasks," would have been better. "Backing into action steps" may have even been best.
Simplicity should be our mantra, our constant drum-beat. We try to impress with language that only ring-knockin' club members can understand, and intentionally obfuscate with extraneous, superfluous, and oft-gratuitous verbiage when a simpler discourse would better accomplish the desired result (that word-play was sarcasm, lest many of you fire off emails my way).
As leaders, let's neither take part in this ridiculous trend, nor allow it to continue among our staffs. Few of us are actual rocket scientists (apologies to Chris if you're reading), so let's make sure that our communications are crafted to actually communicate (I know, crazy thinking!), and not to artificially inflate our own self-worth.
Then maybe, just maybe, we won't be "dumber for reading it."
But that's just me…
(thanks for sending, Kev)

India retains 2nd rank in sending spam, US leads: Report
India has retained its second position in originating spam, accounting for about 12.55 per cent of the global junk mails sent in July, even after reducing the number of mails sent, says a study.
Besides, the US has continued to maintain its first position as the king of Spam relaying nearly one-fourth of the world's total junk mails and Brazil also continued to hold the third position with 12 per cent, the study by Trend Micro said.
Continuing the last two-month trend in July, the US, India and Brazil retained their positions as the top three spam-sending countries.
The report also noted that while India has posted a decline in numbers of mail sent, both the US and Brazil have witnessed an increase in their spam numbers during the month.
"User account information and credit card credentials reap good profits for cybercriminals. Cybercriminals continued to leverage on the widespread use of social networking sites, search engines, and redirectors this July," Trend Micro Manager(India and SAARC) Mr Amit Nath Country said.
The report noted that attacks are now carried out using three primary vectors — email, Web, and file.
With 11.3 per cent of global junk mails, the UK placed fourth in the list, while Germany was fifth by generating 8.66 per cent of junk messages sent around the world.
Surprisingly, China, often blamed for cybercrime by other countries, did not appear on the list .
Junk mails virtually come from malware-infected computers and cause a huge strain on company resources and leads to lost productivity.
In terms of companies, HSBC has become the top phishing target for July via email.
Among other countries on the list, Vietnam was sixth with 7.71 per cent, followed by France (6.71 per cent), Republic of Korea (6.09 per cent), Italy (5.46 per cent) and Romania (5.13 per cent).

What is Google Sheets? Simply tables and charts based on the web offering some unique benefits.
Read on to find out all you need to know!
IN A RUSH?! Click for our <90 second snapshot
The great thing about Google Sheets is that it is web-based, so it can be used anywhere on any device. To share it you only have to share the link. It is free, as part of the overall Google Docs suite.
You can also download it to work offline, and you can custom code your own sheets to fit your particular needs. You can also configure the sheets to gather data, which makes your work even easier!
Difference between a Google Doc and Google Sheet
While both Google Docs and Google Sheet are part of the Google Drive's online tools, they have some important differences. You could say the difference is words and numbers, but it is more than that.
Google Docs is an editing and information system that is based on the web. You can create documents in the doc program. These can be stored on the web and accessed by anyone you give the link to. The docs can be edited and used by different people. It is more of a text management system.
Google Sheets are similar in how they work but are more focused on tables, charts, and numbers. These are spreadsheets, and that is the main difference from Google Docs. Google drive is a file storage system that is online, and you may keep your Google Docs and Google Sheets there.
How to use Google Forms
Google Sheets are great spreadsheets and holders of data. To get your data into the sheets though, you need a form to use, and that is what Google Forms are all about. Google Forms are one of the tools in the suite of Google tools. Sheets and Docs are also tools in that group.
You use forms for writing, or for saving data into your sheets. You may also gather data using the forms. Google Forms are free and are included in the Google program. Simply go to the program and create a form by clicking a link.
From there you can create the form you need to create your sheet. You can create as many tables, rows, graphs or whatever, as you like. You can link this to the spreadsheet, and feed it the data you want to be collated or organized. Adding columns or questions as you like to present the data in the best way possible.
How to make a chart in Google Sheets
Making a chart is very simple once you get a feel for how the program works. Create the Google Sheet first, and then create your forms. Create the tables, label them, and then feed in the data from the forms. Google does the rest. The cool thing is you can make adjustments and the forms will adjust the entire presentation for you.
What are Google Sheets used for
The simple answer is Google Sheets are used to create, update, and modify spreadsheets. It is similar to Excel in that you can create a spreadsheet and update it automatically.
To use a sports analogy. If you were keeping stats for a baseball team, you would put in the stats for each game as the games were finished. The sheet would automatically compile the stats into season totals. You could also organize it so you could see game by game results as well as season totals.
Google sheets and the entire suite of tools are web applications, so readily available as long as you have an internet connection. Once you create your documents you can use them offline as well, and publish them online at a later time and they will be automatically updated.
The program works on just about all browsers, such as Firefox, Explorer, Edge, Apple Safari and others. There are also apps to allow you to use them with your phone.
Another bonus is that this system allows for a lot of collaboration. Documents, or sheets, can be opened and edited by multiple users, even at the same time. Users are able to see changes made by others in real time. In theory, two people, or more, could be editing the same document at the same time.
Another feature that protects the data is the "suggested edit" feature. This is where a suggestion is added, or alternative data is added to the document but does not change the original. There are also places to add comments which do not affect the original document. This way you can exchange messages back and forth as the spreadsheet is used or prepared.
More Recently…
Recently an "action item" feature was added. This feature allows one person to assign part of the project to one person, and the program will make that notification to the person assigned.
Google sheets make creating datasets and spreadsheets easier. It also takes using them to a new level.
Also recently Google created a means for third-party developers to alter the programming of the sheets. This means you can create new apps or new programs and make them compatible with your Google sheets.
Google Sheets, as well as the whole suite of tools, is free. You may use it online at any time, and with an app or an extension, you can use them offline as well. This works great for individuals and small businesses. There are more detailed, and more capable programs available for larger businesses. These come with a monthly subscription.
Additional functions
There is a find and replace tool, which is something that is as old as word processors, but it is still a valuable tool. You may also use this extension to copy and replace to other documents and even to other computers that are linked.
There is another extension that will allow you to open Microsoft Office documents, whether they be a doc or a spreadsheet file.

The world is set to rock again to the sounds of Sheena Is A Punk Rocker and Blitzkrieg Bop thanks to four ageing leather-clad rockers.
A new album, set for release next month, features four musicians who nearly made it into the classic line-up of 70s and 80s rock legends The Ramones.
Back in the days of punk rock, Joey, Jonny, Dee Dee and Tommy Ramone set the world alight with their three-chord classics like Rockaway Beach on albums like Rocket To Russia.
Clad in biker jackets and starting each song simply with Dee Dee bellowing "Onetwothreefour" the Ramones were favourites everywhere.
But there is a group of musicians who were left behind - simply because their names didn't fit the image.
Meet Colin, Trevor, Aloysius and Eric Ramone.
Said guitarist Colin: "We all went to the auditions and got very close to making it into the band. But when they heard our names, it was like 'Ooh, sorry... Colin Ramone? Ain't gonna work. And with Trevor being English... well...
"So we were out. But we didn't hold it against the guys. After all they were brilliant.
"One of the audition rejects did make it. When Tommy quit they took on Mark and called him Marky, which was a bit lame, I always thought.
"And it was a bit of cheat when they employed Clem Burke and called him Elvis, but there you go."
Three of the original line-up - Joey, Jonny and Dee Dee - died after the band called it a day.
But now Colin, Trevor, Aloysius and Eric are to release an album of classic Ramones tracks and promote it with a tour of major venues.
Said classically-trained singer Aloysius: "We are all very excited. This is an opportunity to recreate some wonderful memories - and make a few bob into the bargain."

28 January 2010
Kevin Tyler – UKA's Strategic head of Coaching and Development - has unveiled 2010 as Year of the Coach.
The year will celebrate, recognise and communicate to and about athletics coaches in the UK to highlight their expertise and hard work to bring success to athletes across the country.
And in recognising the skills within our coaching fraternity, UKA will work alongside the Home Country Athletics Federations to highlight, reward and further develop coaching ability through the year.
Tyler's vision for the year is one where coaching is brought to the forefront of all activity and the profile of our athletes is dovetailed alongside the coaches who have helped them achieve their performance goals.
Tyler said: "The Year of the Coach is a superb opportunity for us to really focus on this essential area and ensure that come 2012 the athlete coach pairing is a natural part of the knowledge and storyline of our sport.
"We see it week in week out, the expertise, precision and attention to detail by premiership football managers like Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger is globally recognised by spectators, players and the media. Athletics coaches are even more important and we are lucky to have so much world class expertise in this country, something many other sports cannot even boast of.
"UKA and our Home Country partners are working hard to ensure that coach education and the supporting resource is delivering excellence worthy of the number one Olympic and Paralympic Sport. In recent months we have launched our dedicated coaching resource website uCoach and restructured coach education so that every coach has the opportunity to develop and grow their knowledge base. Year of the Coach will build on the many successes achieved by Home Country Federations in 2009 including five superbly attended conferences and the excellent England National Coach Development Programme.
"But this is just one part of the jigsaw and 2010 gives us an opportunity to heighten the profile of coaching further.
"This year we will seek to recognise and reward excellence in coaching on a monthly basis, further the opportunities for developing coaches to make contact with world class coaches here in the UK, promote our top coaching talent in the eyes of European and World athletics, and support a world class coaching event here in the UK in the Autumn."
"Each month a nominated coach will receive our Coach of the Month award for their contribution. What is important about this recognition is that any accredited coach at any level can receive it, we want nominations from peers, athletes, anyone who feels a coach deserves recognition*. "
Peter Stanley, former coach to Jonathan Edwards and England Athletics National Coach Mentor for triple Jump said: "I am delighted that 2010 has been earmarked as Year of the Coach. Much of the hard work that helps athletes to the podium takes place away from the spotlight and although as a coach you are not seeking fame or glory, recognition for the hours spent working with your athlete is always positive and I am sure across the year we will come to hear of many examples of excellence and dedication to this end."
Stella Bandu, who was World 1500m silver medallist Lisa Dobriskey's first coach and is one of the country's most prolific female endurance coaches also works as an area coach mentor for endurance with England Athletics. She said:
"Year of the Coach will recognise those like myself that might be fortunate enough to have been part of a successful athlete's development but can also be found regularly stood by my club track working hard with groups of developing athletes who may just be involved with athletics at a club or area level.
"It is great that the story of coaching is to be told across 2010, and coaches will be provided all these opportunities."
Further information will be available on the uCoach (www.uka.org.uk/coaching) and UKA websites www.uka.org.uk

Hey all,
I'm kind of a long time lurker and I've been a big fan of AWAY3d since 1.X, back when all everyone knew about was PaperVision. I'm glad this project flourished because the API was so much better.
For the past year I've been doing some HMTL 5 multimedia experiments and I'm totally psyched about AWAY3d Typescript (AND Starling! It's too good to be true!)
BUT… (and no offense intended).. I am wondering where's all the discussion and excitement on these forums? I'm concerned that if there isn't something publicly ready for production use soon, Typescript and away3D will lose the all-important early mover advantage, and we'll be stuck with programming in raw Javascript with some other inferior library as the defacto standard for web multimedia. Because everyone I talk to basically says Flash development is being blacklisted from commercial sites left and right. Hate to say this but its true. It's time for me to prepare for the future, and since I want to do multimedia it's gonna have to be something that people will hire me for (HTML).
If there's anywhere other than these forums where people are using and talking about Away3D Typescript please let me know. Or if there's some way I can help (with my limited time available)
PS This is NOT done with AWAY3d Typescript but planning to port it:
(The old flash version was done with AWAY3d, long ago.)

The Afghanistan detainee transfer agreement of May 2007 has been cited by the government as providing for adequate monitoring and inspections of prisoners transferred by Canadian Forces to Afghan authorities. In testimony before the Special Committee on the Canadian Mission in Afghanistan, the Hon. Lawrence Cannon, Minister of Foreign Affairs, cited these inspections as evidence that Canada was doing its best to monitor the treatment of detainees handed over to Afghan authorities, stating that the Canadian system in place since May 2007 is a "model to follow":
The supplemental arrangement that our government put in place has allowed the implementation of an oversight and follow-up mechanism that ensures protection of the rights of prisoners transferred by Canada and it is considered a model to follow.
This arrangement states that Canadian representatives will have unrestricted access to those prisoners, as my colleague, the Minister of National Defence, Mr. MacKay, mentioned.
This has enabled us to conduct nearly 200 visits, since the implementation of our new agreement, to verify that prisoners who had been transferred were treated in accordance with our values and principles and international law.
At this same session, the Hon. Peter MacKay, Minister of National Defence, claimed that Canadian Forces in Afghanistan rely on Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT) reports when determining whether or not detainees transferred to Afghan authorities face a risk of torture:
While the commander of Joint Task Force Afghanistan holds the final decision on transfers, his decision is informed by a comprehensive understanding of the circumstances, including information based on the monitoring and the diplomatic analysis of the Department of Foreign Affairs. Neither the Canadian Forces nor the commander make decisions in the abstract.
It turns out that Canadian Forces (CF) were not making decisions in the abstract, but in a vacuum. Documents obtained by the Globe and Mail have revealed that detainee transfers were suspended in November 2007 in significant part because Canadian Forces had insufficient information to allay their concerns, in light of ongoing allegations of detainee abuse by Afghan officials. According to the Globe and Mail's account, senior CF command had limited access to reports of any kind — belying the claims made by Cannon and MacKay before the parliamentary committee.
The documents paint a picture of a command struggling to deal with decisions on detainee transfers in an uncertain environment and without the information necessary. Colonel Christian Juneau, Acting Commander of Canadian Forces in Afghanistan, wrote a letter copied to General Rick Hillier, Defence Minister Peter MacKay, and other Canadian officials recommending the suspension of transfers of detainees to Afghan officials in November 2007. Col. Juneau wrote that he had inadequate information to justify continuing transfers.
Later that month, Brigadier General Guy LaRoche, then Commander of the Joint Task Force in Afghanistan, put a moratorium on further transfers to Afghan authorities. The Globe and Mail describes the letter halting transfers:
Brig.-Gen. Laroche in his letter lamented "the fact that meaningful investigation reports into previous abuse allegations have yet to be received." He said this meant there could be a "larger systemic problem" concerning detainees. "This puts this headquarters and indeed the Canadian Forces, in a difficult position."
The general told his Ottawa masters that it was "essential that an effective, robust and timely mechanism be put in place to deal with new allegations" and explained he was not only halting handovers but putting a moratorium on further transfers until a better reporting system was put into place.
"This can only be accomplished through a meaningful detention facility presence and pro-active … reporting that includes concrete recommendations."
These reports raise serious concerns about the detainee tracking and monitoring process, even after the new transfer agreement was implemented in May 2007. The new agreement was meant to generate the information needed to make proper decisions on detainee transfers, but the information was not being given to those who needed it most.
UPDATE: Meanwhile, in parliamentary committee today, a diplomat with Foreign Affairs claimed that Canadian Forces were doing nothing to help get the information that Col. Juneau needed. Cory Anderson, a senior DFAIT official, stated that one of the most difficult parts of DFAIT's role was working with Afghanistan's National Directorate of Security (NDS), the notorious Afghan intelligence agency. DFAIT needed help building a relationship with the NDS, but CF would not step in:
The Canadian Forces enjoy an intimate and comprehensive relationship with the National Directorate of Security on a daily basis related to all aspects of military operations and intelligence gathering, but refuse to wade into the one facet of that relationship where adherence to our international obligations is most at risk.
Mr. Anderson criticized the NDS for its "endemic and systemic duplicity … that exists to this day, and renders it virtually impossible to have an open and transparent relationship with their officials on the ground in Kandahar."
To summarize: CF can't be responsible for detainee transfers without better reports from DFAIT. DFAIT can't be responsible for providing accurate reports without more help from CF. These problems still haven't been resolved, nearly three years after the May 2007 transfer agreement was signed.
