Afghanistan Committee Liveblog: Let the sunshine in!

As promised in this morning's OotD, I'll be hanging around in the Hall of Honour outside the room where the Afghanistan committee is slated to hold an emergency in camera meeting at 4pm today.

Why would a liveblogger stake out a closed-door meeting, you ask? Well, in my experience, these events don't tend to stay in camera for long once the gavel drops, as all it take to open the doors is a motion with majority support. If not -- well, there are always pre- and post-meeting scrums, right? In theory, the committee could vote to start hearing from witnesses right away -- in fact, in my experience, that's usually what happens at a 106(4) meeting -- but since at last report, the first two names on the Liberal wish list haven't even been invited to appear. Anyway, check back at 4 p.m. ET for full coverage from the corridor, and I'll keep you posted on whatever develops from there.
