National Post Onside For Open Disclosure?
I never thought I'd see the day when I'd recommend three articles from the NP. A Question of Torture may be the best thing in the weekend papers: Major Plante's MA thesis on detainees is here. Portrait of an Envoy is a fair, and thus admiring, portrait of Colvin. And Jonas talks sense on Afghanistan (though I disagree with implicit premise re. Canada/NATO/UN obligations: only the USA had a casus belli - did UK ever get NATO to invoke mutual defence clause re. Eire & IRA using it as base of operations?). I don't know who should be more alarmed by my recommendations, the National Post or me. If I start wearing blue sweater vests, I'll know I'm the one who's lost it. If the NP continues to publish fair, sensible articles and comment, we'll know they are actually serious about surviving, and, having moved to the centre, perhaps even thriving. I've got to go, my piano teacher's coming...Oh Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

Well, those papers are out of the Asper clutches. Godfrey is gone. Black's in prison. So the editors have taken their spines out of cold storage.

Thank you for reading NP so I don't have to. Thanks for the tip. A good article, indeed.
