Critics are calling for the defence minister's resignation over new allegations that Afghan prisoners had been tortured.

Afghans handed over to local authorities after being interrogated by Canadian soldiers say they have been beaten, whipped, starved, frozen, choked and interrogated by electric shock in Kandahar jails, a Globe and Mail investigation revealed.

This is not good, obviously. Heads are going to roll.

This is not good! The heads that are going to roll are our troups! If we look like we are abusing prisoners it will only inflamme the hatred towards them. Our armed forces need to be building respect.

We are not the US!
