"Ludicrous" Banerjee & That Mystery Envoy

Banerjee: "Abuse of prisoners in Afghanistan has been common knowledge. I was told by one of my colleagues, a political officer at our embassy in Kabul, that his e-mails alerting Foreign Affairs headquarters about potential abuse of transferred detainees in Afghan prisons were ignored. One of Canada's former envoys also confirmed abuse in Afghan prisons was known since 2001." Given her phrasing and that she was the head of Canada's aid program in Afghanistan from 2003-06, it's reasonable to assume the mystery envoy is either Sigurdson, Alexander or Sproule. Of the three, who is most likely, do you think?

Further Banerjee: "Under such circumstances, the Canadian foreign affairs and defence departments' decision in favour of the unconditional hand-over of detainees to Afghan security forces involved questionable judgment. Or was it lack of intelligence gathering and analysis of the context? None of these provide defensible grounds for the way the detainee issue was handled. More serious, however, is that Colvin's warnings about the abuse and torture of transferred detainees - in effect violations of human rights - not only went unheeded, Colvin was allegedly asked to shut up. And this allowed the government to dig itself into a deeper hole."
