I am compelled to offer the following youtube vid on the billblog because it is pertinent to my posts on the question of the torture of Afghan detainees, a.k.a. prisoners and because, well, it is just such a lame performance by MP Braid. It's part of a PR campaign to bring the appearance of integrity to a dishonest government. The spiel is this: If you want full disclosure of information pertaining to the torture of Afghan prisoners then you are unpatriotic and impugn the integrity of soldiers. Lame.

(On the same topic, a U of Ottawa professor, Errol Mendes, stated yesterday that PM Harper has violated the Constitution by refusing to release uncensored documents relating to the Afghan detainee issue. READ HERE.)

The billblog is pleased to see that the issue of the treatment of Afghan prisoners is not going away. Obvious to all who are not in denial about the integrity of the current government is that prorogation of Parliament is essentially an oh so lame way to attempt escape scrutiny on this issue.

What is being hidden? Who knew what and when did they know it? More importantly, when did they do or not do with the information they had. What information could be so dangerous that a PM would violate the Constitution, prorogue Parliament, killing all of its own legislative initiatives and provoke the ire of the populace just to stop an inquiry? The billblog suspects something is rotten in the Conservative Coven and it isn't just the week old baloney sandwiches in waste basket.

Check out Conservative MP Peter Braid in the video below. A new lame is achieved. The background to this encounter is news of a pamphlet that apparently will be delivered to Canadian homes. READ HERE.




Lame.

Listen. Why not take your pamphlet back to your local Conservative constituency office and say your piece? Keep the heat on. Something un-lame to think about.
