New detainee agreement?

According to a report from Bruce Campion-Smith at the Toronto Star, Canada has signed a new detainee transfer agreement with the Afghan government:

Canadian officials reportedly signed a new prisoner transfer agreement with Afghan officials this morning in Kabul.

Reports of the surprise development led to a temporary adjournment in a morning court hearing, where human rights advocates were seeking an injunction to bar the transfers of prisoners by Canadian troops into the hands of Afghan authorities.


I've got some calls into folks I know at DND, and will post details as they become available to me.
