Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

C O N F I D E N T I A L OTTAWA 000290 SIPDIS E.O. 12958: DECL: 01/28/2015 TAGS: EAID, PREL, CA, Tsunami SUBJECT: CANADA: TIMETABLE FOR WITHDRAWAL OF US MILITARY ASSETS FROM TSUNAMI-AFFECTED REGION REF: (A) SECSTATE 15234 (B) OTTAWA 131 Classified By: POLITICAL M/C BRIAN FLORA. REASON 1.4 (B) AND (D). 1. (C) DND Office of Peacekeeping Director, Colonel Denis Thompson, and desk officer Joey Cloutier told us on January 27 that they foresaw "no problems" with the projected departure of U.S. military assets from the tsunami-affected region. They noted that Canadian relief efforts had been focused in Sri Lanka; both were aware that CSG Sri Lanka was preparing to depart if it hadn't already done so. Cloutier said that the Canadian LNO deployed earlier this month (ref B) was already back in country. 2. (C) Though we were unable to meet with more senior staff in FAC's Office of Peacekeeping and Regional Security, desk officer Kelty Patterson confirmed DND officials' views that the departure of U.S. military assets from Sri Lanka in particular would not affect Canadian relief efforts.
