Torture: Good Job Opposition, Bloggers Must Do Better

Excellent QP & after by Liberals, and good opening questions by Bloc & NDP*. Try to control noise and heckling. I know it's hard to listen to Con nonsense. But you do your case no favours by playing into their hands with noise. Keep on message, stay serious. As for bloggers, too many are getting off-topic and playing silly political games that can only divide party supporters and confuse the point. Show some self-control, if you truly care about Afghan & Canadian lives, human rights and the honour of Canada, not to mention an independent, effective judiciary and public service. Focus on this, and don't get distracted.

*Though if NDP really does care about torture and Canadian and Afghan lives, should concentrate on Cons and not waste time with swipes on Iggy - there will be time enough for that. Anyone who reads me knows my long-established views on him. But what is more important right now, stopping a cover-up of collusion in torture and all that implies, or point-scoring? Let them use their time more wisely, for Canada's good. Ask yourselves, what would Bill Blaikie do? (Or Douglas, Knowles, et.al.?) And though I dislike such considerations, politically, focussed fire on the Cons will pay off handsomely enough for all - given the NDP's long-established positions, they should be secure in their situation.
