Interesting piece in the G&M about the detainee documents that are set to be released in the next couple weeks:

I had been wondering myself why nothing about the detainee controversy had come up as a major talking point, but I guess it's pretty clear: the opposition knows that it's going to resurface in a big way midway through this campaign without them needing to bring it up. Either the documents come out, and the media spends a couple weeks focused on this major, embarrassing screw-up for the Tories, or the Tories appeal the release of the documents in court, which simply reinforce the narrative that a) there's something really embarrassing in the documents, and b) this is a government of secrecy and suppression.
Add that looming issue to the fact that every day there's another negative story about the Conservatives (news today that they threw a 19-year-old out of an event because she had a picture of herself with Ignatieff on Facebook, while another man was denied entry because he had an NDP bumper sticker).
