Good Job Opposition, Media & Bloggers

I was pleased to see the Opposition had the sense to keep torture as their top subject in QP and that the Committee has followed through on the privilege question to make sure the information hijinks stop: the Speaker will hear arguments Monday. It is paying off as the Govt inevitably gets caught in their own web of deception: I have never read a CP story that verged so close to disdain as this one. CP is always so neutral, but the problem here is the Govt is hanging itself and there's no way to not report that. HarperBizarro found an almost eerily relevant story about ministerial responsibility: read MacKay for Jung, as far as minister forced to resign? But important not to lose focus - we need a full accounting of the facts. A token resignation to satisfy critics would be insufficient. So we must be careful not to ask for what isn't yet justified, although I think it's true to say that if you read through that CP account, the PM & ministers have now misled the House on several occasions, accidentally or intentionally, one can't say as yet. And this is why all the documents must be released. The media seem more pissed off than ever: they may not be allowed to lead with the torture story every day, but by Gretzky, they're going to compensate by tracking down every detail and hounding this story to the ends of the earth. Quite heartening (everyone hates being manipulated). All we observe may just be incompetence wrapped in paranoia (though to be this incompetent is also a firing offence), but everything points toward a more suspicious conclusion. If we keep on this fundamental question, the truth will come out, sooner rather than later. Canadian & Afghan lives and honour demand no less. We're getting there. Keep hammering away. We're closer every day. And keep the right serious tone, as befits such a serious issue. Observing how effective the Opposition has been by combining their efforts and focussing their attention is inspiring: "El oposición unido, jamás será vencido!?"
