Canadian troops capture 10 Taliban
May 12 - Canadian troops capture Taliban suspects without firing a shot and turned them over to Afghan police. Much of the article content, though, focuses on whether photos taken by an embed from Agence France-Presse may have violated Geneva Convention articles on the rights of prisoners.

The Toronto Sun article also focuses on the photo issue, but provides much more information about the suspects and what they were carrying:
Ten prisoners were taken in the raid, including three known to authorities. [Maj. Marc] Theriault said the men were found with large sums of money and bomb-making materials.That information is conspiciously absent from the Yahoo account as well as the the CBC story. which is exactly the same as the one at Yahoo but does include a link to a photo gallery (requires Macromedia Flash Player.)

Wait a second... Canada has soldiers? Who told them they could do that?
Seriously, I'm glad to see the Canadian acomplishments being reported. And the Candian snipers are giving our boys the competition they need to be sharp (since the muj aren't giving us much competition.)

Hey, Canada once had an world-class military but previous Liberal governments gutted it to pay for their social programs (and funnel money to their friends and election campaigns.)
I keep hoping to see a DoD release about a hockey game between our boys! That would be something to witness.
