A Canadian female liberal
wrote a lot of letters to the Canadian government, complaining about the
treatment of captive insurgents (terrorists) being held in Afghanistan National
Correctional System facilities. She demanded a response to her letter. She
received back the following reply:
National Defense
Headquarters
M Gen George R. Pearkes Bldg.,
15 NT
101 Colonel By Drive
Ottawa , ON K1A 0K2
Canada
Dear Concerned Citizen,
Thank you for your recent
letter expressing your profound concern of treatment of the Taliban and Al
Qaeda terrorists captured by Canadian Forces, who were subsequently transferred
to the Afghanistan Government and are currently being held by Afghan officials
in Afghanistan National Correctional System facilities.
Our administration takes these
matters seriously and your opinions were heard loud and clear here in Ottawa.
You will be pleased to learn, thanks to the concerns of citizens like yourself,
we are creating a new department here at the Department of National Defense, to
be called 'Liberals Accept Responsibility for Killers' program, or L.A.R.K. for
short.
In accordance with the
guidelines of this new program, we have decided, on a trial basis, to divert
several terrorists and place them in homes of concerned citizens such as
yourself, around the country, under those citizens personal care. Your personal
detainee has been selected and is scheduled for transportation under heavily
armed guard to your residence in Toronto next Monday.
Ali Mohammed Ahmed bin Mahmud
is your detainee, and is to be cared for pursuant to the standards you
personally demanded in your letter of complaint. You will be pleased to know
that we will conduct weekly inspections to ensure that your standards of care
for Ahmed are commensurate with your recommendations.
Although Ahmed is a sociopath
and extremely violent, we hope that your sensitivity to what you described as
his 'attitudinal problem' will help him overcome those character flaws. Perhaps
you are correct in describing these problems as mere cultural differences. We
understand that you plan to offer counseling and home schooling, however, we
strongly recommend that you hire some assistant caretakers.
Please advise any Jewish
friends, neighbours or relatives about your house guest, as he might get
agitated or even violent, but we are sure you can reason with him. He is also
expert at making a wide variety of explosive devices from common household
products, so you may wish to keep those items locked up, unless in your
opinion, this might offend him. Your adopted terrorist is extremely proficient
in hand-to-hand combat and can extinguish human life with such simple items as
a pencil or nail clippers. We advise that you do not ask him to demonstrate
these skills either in your home or wherever you choose to take him while
helping him adjust to life in our country.
Ahmed will not wish to
interact with you or your daughters except sexually, since he views females as
a form of property, thereby having no rights, including refusal of his sexual
demands. This is a particularly sensitive subject for him.
You also should know that he
has shown violent tendencies around women who fail to comply with the dress
code that he will recommend as more appropriate attire. I'm sure you will come
to enjoy the anonymity offered by the burka over time. Just remember that it is
all part of 'respecting his culture and religious beliefs' as described in your
letter.
You take good care of Ahmed
and remember that we will try to have a counselor available to help you over
any difficulties you encounter while Ahmed is adjusting to Canadian
culture.
Thanks again for your concern.
We truly appreciate it when folks like you keep us informed of the proper way
to do our job and care for our fellow man. Good luck and God bless you.
Cordially,
Gordon O'Connor
Minister of National Defense
