Fisk writes about Almalki's case in his column, published today, and raises the all-important issue of accountability. "I want to know why those complicit in Almalki's torture – the letter writers, the composers of questions – cannot be tried in court," he writes. "They are, at the least, accomplices to human rights abuses." Good point. Especially since they aren't just not being held accountable — they're being promoted. Just this week we learned that the RCMP's Michel Cabana, the man who was in charge of the RCMP investigation that targeted Ahmad El Maati, Almalki, Maher Arar and Muayyed Nureddin, has been promoted to an Assistant Commissioner of the RCMP (Federal and International Operations, Border Integrity Section).
