'Silly', it seems to me, is the notion that Harper is somehow immune or above-the-law merely because he thinks that he is. (We are in the midst of compiling a list of Canadians who have been forced to take this depraved regime to court in order to compel governance pursuant to respected tradition and the rule of law). See: http://ourcanada.tk/archives to learn more.
"Silly", it seems to me, is also the notion that 'intimidating a witness', 'contempt', and 'obstruction' of Canada's ultimate and supreme authority (that of our Parliament), is somehow 'spinnable' into acts that Canadians swallow like poisonous pills prescribed for them by foreign 'spin doctors' such as Ari Fleisher and David Frum. See more information on MPs' complacent 'hands off' approach to public health emergencies at [http://not4me.tk].
"...Harper's office in Ottawa 'scripted and fed' the precise wording NATO officials in Kabul used to repudiate allegations of abuse at a time when it was privately and generally acknowledged in our office that the chances of good treatment at the hands of Afghan security forces were almost zero."
"It was highly unusual. I was told this was the titanic issue for Prime Minister Harper and that every single statement that went out needed to be cleared by him personally,..." [From: PMO issued instructions on denying abuse in '07 : Former NATO official says response to reports was 'scripted' in Ottawa].
A time of reckoning has now come, and as Canadians take to the streets in protest, our police state will continue to govern with impunity. Few MPs can be found at their offices, and those who are found are stating the same thing in a united voice: Hey hey, ho ho - the status quo has got to GO.
That, it seems to me, is not so silly.
