Cdn security service caught using unreliable witness in secret trial proceedings against alleged "terrorist".

CSIS' top secret confession to the court
Further to my blog entry entitled: CSIS: Nothing but trouble and shame
The information of which CSIS failed to inform the court was that the source who fingered Mohamed Harkat FAILED HIS LIE DETECTOR TEST.
Ladies and gentlemen, this whole "terror" thing has been patently revealed as a farce designed to keep Canadians thinking we are in danger of attack by Muslims, and to thereby justify the slaughter of Muslims in Afghanistan.http://yayacanada.blogspot.com/2009/05/csis-nothing-but-trouble-and-shame.html
Thanks to Christian Legeais, spokesperson and bilingual media contact for the Justice for Mohamed Harkat committee, here is the link to the top secret letter from CSIS made public today, wherein CSIS fesses up.

Spy agency hid fact that source lied in Harkat case
SNIP
Mr. Boxall said that there is no getting around the fact that CSIS officials appear to have actively misled the court - and that it can no longer be trusted.
“Most of the evidence in this case has been destroyed, including all of the original notes and sources,” he said. “We don't even have the original interviews with these sources; we are relying on summaries.
“My concern isn't limited to this one source,” Mr. Boxall said. “How do we know about the other sources? How can we trust the summaries prepared by CSIS, in view of this behaviour? This raises serious questions about the integrity of the security certificate process.”
Mr. Boxall said that the duty on CSIS to be fair and forthright in security certificate hearings is especially exacting because the defendant cannot participate, making it all the more reprehensible, he said, that the agency was dishonest.
He also said that CSIS cannot be relied on to review its own procedures, and that any serious review would be better done by an outside body such as a judge or Parliament's Security Intelligence Review Committee.
