"Release of footage showing Khadr interrogation sought; Video documentation of Canadian agents' questioning has been kept secret for five years"

Yet efforts are under way to force government officials to release four DVDs containing the recordings that may yield insights into the secrets of the U.S. prison camp and one of Canada's more ethically fraught investigations."
