Jingoism: Last Refuge of Desperate Scoundrels

That's all they've got? How desperate are the Cons when they've now got Baird on point with MacKay, launching into incoherent jingoism, and cowering behind false legal defences vs. parliamentary supremacy and contrary to information management laws (Hillier & Gauthier, v-à-v other civilians, primus inter pares?)? Excellent questions by all, particularly Siobhan Coady. The details damn them. They are going down, as long as the Opposition & media keep on them. They have nothing left but screaming & trying to drag everyone into their muck. They can either have the documents come out, bit by bit, and suffer Chinese political water torture, or have them come all out and maybe lose a couple of ministers and a PM quickly. But the Committee MUST man up. Don't just "request", "REQUIRE" ALL RELATED UNREDACTED DOCUMENTS POST-HASTE. National security is BS and everyone knows it. They wanted another committee meeting today? Pass another motion, explicitly REQUIRING all necessary UNREDACTED materials POST-HASTE. You are Parliament. You are supreme. Enough BS. Ask Raymond Chrétien, who's on the Hill today, what he thinks of diplomats doing their job, sending warning memos, and being scapegoated for doing the right thing.
