Since he served in the army he should know international law. If you fail to read a report or memo at your work that could get your company charged you would be fire so he should have stepped down but Peter MacKay is just as bad and they are all Neo cons so the US got rid of their and we Smarter Canadians kept ours. Think About it Canada Bush is still in office its just a little further North NOW.

This post-over 1 year ago refernces detainees- Afghan POW’s. A year later we are still not getting the ‘goods’ as to what is happening to them- why- only to save embarrassment.
As someone who’s grandfather died as a Canadian POW in a Japanese prison camp and who was starved ,beaten and tortured for years,I have no sympathy for Mr. O’Conneror his motives.
I know there are good Generals and bad Generals,brave ones and chicken ones,his actions speak for themselves.

You do not call someone in any country who has served with honor in the military a “chicken” that is a low blow. Goodale ever serve in the military. I understand your issues in those other areas but that is different subject. I have an issue with Goodale disrepcting a man who serve his country. I do agree that O’ Connor made mistakes and it was best for him to be removed from his post.

look at what he is dealing with, example…a “Government” that would introduce a motion to DEMAND the SENATE pass a Bill C-2. Is that not a cheap shot, knowing the House and Senate are independent and always have been?

Their is a difference between calling someone a Chicken and holding people accountable. I have no problem with government being held accountable and I agree with you. However Goodale is know for as being a cheapshot artist!

In effect, the Government of Canada appears to be governed not from a sovereign Parliament in Ottawa, but run through a New York City-based political fraternity, which seeks to replace a democratic form of government, with the rule of society by a “Council of Wise Men”. The architects of such a fascistic government look upon their vision of society,

Interesting that the Liberals started this line of questioning BEFORE the Globe & Mail story. I wonder if this was a coordinated effort? The CBC went to the Afghan prison to investigate the abuse allegations further, but in the end could only report on “mistreatment” such as crowded conditions, cold nights, and bad food. I’m sure there’s truth to the Globe & Mail report, but I think its revealing how the Liberals twisted it into an indictment of the Canadian military’s actions and intentions, and how they successfully used it to browbeat the government and accuse them of a cover-up, even though they seem to have done nothing wrong. The worst part is that this tactic actually hurt the government’s standing in public opinion polls … unfortunate proof that the truth doesn’t matter, its the allegation that counts.

Peter MacKay hit the ball out of the park with his comeback at the end. Gordon O’Connor did serve his country as a soldier. How dare that Liberal prick of a Ralph Goodale declare him a chicken? It just goes to show his level of respect towards war veterans. I would take a war veteran’s word over a corrupted Liberal bureaucrat any day.
