[edit] Still allegations?

Hi. You've done lots of research setting this one up. If the allegations are still unproven, I suggest the title of the article may need changing. "Abuse scandal" suggests that there was real abuse. "Detainee transfer scandal" would be safer, although I admit it is jargon-y. What do you think? Canuckle 22:35, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Importance of the scandal

Most of the article is the well-sourced timeline. The story could be stronger about why the scandal is important or notable. Currently, the story portion can be summarized as there were claims made in the Globe and House of Commons and it was called a scandal. It would be useful to seem more description of what it was, what parties like Red Cross and Amnesty International thought of it, and what the consequences were. Hope you don't mind the feedback.
