(Kady O'Malley/CBC)Well, it was a tough choice -- a really, really tough choice -- but since I can only cover one of the three can't-be-missed events on the agenda for this morning, I'm heading to the only one without live streaming audio or video: Former Kandahar PRT political director Richard Colvin's much-anticipated appearance before the Military Police Complaints Commission.  

Here's the liveblog -- and the official transcript -- from his November 18th appearance before the Special Committee on the Canadian Mission in Afghanistan, as well as a summary of -- and link to the full text of -- his subsequent written submission to the committee from December 16, 2009. You can also peruse more Colvin-related background documents in our online library. 

The hearing kicks off at 9:00 a.m., so check back for full coverage.
