I disagree DJ. The average person will care if Canada has been shown to be complicit in war crimes.

The average person doesn’t care that Afghans are torturing Taliban prisoners.

I’d rather think the CONs would prefer a rosey gigantic novelty cheque spreading spree, but we also know that they resort to throwing mud too to tarnish everyone in parliament rather than be accountable for their own deeds.
The CONbots above, by their support of such tactics, reveal themselves for the ethic-challenged morons they are…

I am not one of those people who believe political blogs control political discourse.

It took nothing away from covering Colvin. Colvin was the lead story, and somewhere down the line this one appeared.

@Gayle,

I was being facetious. How can Harper control Colvin’s timing.
However the 10% ad took talking time, print space and blog space away from Colvin. As evidenced right here.

Why would you think it worked? Colvin is making headlines, MacKay’s attack in Colvin is being met with ridicule. The 10%’ers are barely making a blip in the bigger picture.

If it did it worked, you took the bite.

Irwin Cotler has been the Liberal lead against the 10%er sent out by the CONs. The bigger issue is what Mr. Colvin said yesterday and I think what he said was pretty damning of a government that lies, to Canadians. If it wasn’t so, why did the government try to stall Colvin from testifying?
Why did the government threaten to charge Colvin under the “secrecy act” or whatever it is?
Why did the government not provide Colvin with legal representation?
Why is the government dismissing Colvin’s testimony an attacking his credibility when they should be thanking him for his service and taking action?

Well, to be blunt, if such a sloppy execution of an admittedly despicable attack actually works to “distract” Liberals from the testimony yesterday, then they have bigger issues that just getting the OLO revamped.

I’m being serious here, and not meant as a slam on you or even the Liberal Party. But a political party needs to be able to walk and chew gum at the same time.

I hope freak sideshows don’t work as well as you envision, because the conservatives have many acts to follow I’m sure.
