Librul Derangement Syndrome…It’s Baaack!

Or, it never seems to stop. This time, it appears that the CBC is now afflicted with LDS. It is now helping the Harpercons do that whole “blame the Libruls” thang  back in order to deflect and distract. Yikes!

OK, once again, whatever part the Liberals played in this whole torturegate debacle doesn’t really appear to concern them a whole lot, given that they voted along with the N.D.P. in favor of an investigation dating back to 2001.

It would seem that the most the Liberals are guilty of was, along with Gen. Rick Hillier, signing on to a very flawed agreement with the Afghan Gov’t regarding detainee transfers in 2005; right smack before a federal election campaign which led to a Harpercon minority.

Even if the Liberals didn’t vote along with the N.D.P. in favor of a full investigation into torturegate; and even if they did so much more than sign a flawed agreement with the Afghan Gov’t if international laws were broken, it is incumbent upon the current government to try to correct the situation. Especially Steve, as he campaigned on Government accountability. Accountability is not blaming the previous guardians of the castle so to speak; it is most certainly not deliberately continuing the bad acts and making a bad situation worse and looking away.  An accountable gov’t is also a transparent gov’t; it’s not a government that runs, hides and contorts themselves worse than a circus performer to avoid facing the music. Canadians deserve to know if their government knowingly broke international laws in breaching the Geneva Conventions in their name.

If it were an honest mistake on either the part of the Liberals or Harpercons or both, to err is human, most folks can get that. Even St-Stevie should get that. Or is willing to risk the whole enchilada in order to drown in his own arrogance?  No, I’m not inclined to believe it was a simple mistake for obvious reasons.

Yes, the Liberally deranged can say the Liberals were involved with torture until they turn purple, but at the end of the day, it is the Harpercons and Stevie that refuse an investigation and refuse to be accountable. Pity that his cheerleaders of the Corporate media (and yes, I’m starting to count the CBC in with this motley gang) and the Blogging Tory disciples of the Stevie fan club seem to care more about keeping Stevie in power and allowing the torture of detainees to go on (after all, ya can’t fight a good war without torturing da enemy: Right Blathering Blatchford??) rather than true accountable government.
