Editorial cartoon by Brian GableBrian Gable

Editorial writers can be a wordy bunch.

The Globe's, for example, have this to say about yesterday's decision by the Conservative government to attack the credibilty of Richard Colvin, a diplomat and intelligence officer who told a Commons committee that all Afghan captives transferred by Canadian soldiers to local authorities wound up being tortured - even though many were likely innocent.
