Reports on
the long and painful saga of one Security Certificate Detainee: Mohamed Harkat

Sept. 2008 - Harkat DOES NOT win right to see spy agency documents
Interestingly, and disturbingly, it seems that this article ... that was published by CP is untrue.It turns out that not he, but the special advocates active in his case, will see the material. This coverage is a further advance in the legitimization of the secret process: where the fact that the special advocates (lawyers who are part of the secret process, and cannot normally communicate with Harkat after seeing his file) can see more material, while Harkat himself cannot, is treated as a victory.
