There were no "insults" in that letter.<br /><br />After calling him a Taliban dupe, MacKay stated repeatedly in the House, reports backing up Colvin from soldiers in the field notwithstanding, that there was not one single instance of Canadian detainees being abused.<br /><br />Colvin opened his letter with :<br />"Some of their evidence, with respect, was inaccurate or incomplete. This supplementary written evidence to the Committee aims to clarify some of these issues."<br /><br />So where's the insult?<br /><br />An insult, Anon, is Harper shutting down the only government committee authorized to look into it after throttling the MPCC. <br />An insult is Harper refusing Colvin access to his own reports before his appearance before the committee. <br />An insult is Harper ignoring the vote in parliament for a public inquiry.<br />An insult, Anon, is your opinion of public servants doing their job in the face of rank intimidation.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09811694143714068436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17909993.post-4508440891751540672009-12-17T15:39:39.564-08:002009-12-17T15:39:39.564-08:00Is it really so "devastating"?

Sounded to me a lot like repeating the same stuff, with a little innuendo and character assassination, especially of his boss. <br /><br />He should be careful. Most Canadians support his right to speak the truth as befits his duty as a civil servant, but not to insult other people and imply that his opinions are gospel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17909993.post-90522347030346014202009-12-17T06:09:41.791-08:002009-12-17T06:09:41.791-08:00Hey Goldie, if all that happened was some guy got ...Hey Goldie, if all that happened was some guy got hit with shoe, why did Canadian troops take him back into custody and why is it a matter of national security?<br />We're looking at you, Kevin Lynch.<br /><br />TimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
