Gen. Natynczyk corrects the record

Abused detainee was originally in the custody of Canadians

Less than 24 hours after telling a Parliamentary committee otherwise, General Walter Natyncyzk, Chief of Defence Staff, appeared at a news conference to announce that a detainee abused by Afghan officials in summer of 2006 was, in fact, first held by Canadians. The general says he became aware of new information this morning. He says he will be launching an investigation to understand why it took this for that information to reach him.
