Backtracking on Bullets
Well that didn’t take long…
Canada’s Department of National Defence has suddenly backed down and released their ’secret’ files on the amount of ammo used in the Afghan mission. (Guess it wasn’t such a big secret after all.)
But even though this particular issue wasn’t really an important secret, Canada’s top brass want you to know that you Canadians shouldn’t expect to know too much about what’s going on over there. Check out this best paragraph and mental image from the Canwest article:
[…] a top general warns that Taliban insurgents based in the mountains around Kandahar are reading articles in the [Ottawa] Citizen on a regular basis and the military has to be careful about what details it can release.
