OTTAWA — Weapons fire near a Canadian military patrol in Afghanistan caused no injuries but is still under investigation, says a spokesman for federal Defence Minister Bill Graham.
A Canadian patrol, part of the NATO security force, reported that an unidentified helicopter "fired near it'' while it was on operations near an air weapons range several kilometres east of Kabul, the spokesman said Saturday.
None of the eight soldiers in the patrol was injured in the incident, which occurred at about 9:10 p.m. local time Friday, the spokesman added.
The soldiers returned to their Canadian camp to report the incident.
It is now under investigation by NATO's International Security Assistance Force and Kabul multinational brigade headquarters' authorities, the spokesman said.

This short piece illustrates perfectly the problem with the adversarial legal system, where the idea of actual guilt is irrelevant to all participants in the pantomime. I support the vigorous defence of a person's rights, but also grasp why lawyers come across slimy. It's hard to look crystal clear and clean when you provide your services on a foundation of one set of acceptable lies against another.
