UPDATED - Detainee Document Hunt: Read along with us!
As Colleague McGregor announced earlier today, we've posted the full collection of Afghan detainee-related documents that were tabled in the House yesterday morning.
Our not-so-secret agenda? Call it an experiment in distributed research. We want to make sure that the 2,688 pages of medium to heavily-redacted data get the most thorough going-over possible, so we're going to try to harness the collective power -- or, more specifically, eyeballs -- of the CBC.ca/politics readerverse, so head on over to the ad hoc Inside Politics reading club and share your observations!
TESTING, TESTING: After an initial embedding experiment yesterday afternoon, wherein we came this close to causing this corner of the internet to implode in on itself like a dying sun, here's our second attempt at making the documents available for your reading pleasure right here. Just a note: I'm adding the various chunks -- there are five in total -- one at a time to see whether there's a hard limit on how many files your average browser can handle before melting down completely. For direct links to the full set, click here. More Stories under Politics
