Friday Already

But still swamped.

So a quick riddle regarding the recent news stories about Obama releasing the torture memos and Canada's Braidwood Inquiry:

What's the difference between the USA where Obama is promising that CIA torturers won't be prosecuted and Canada where it looks like the four RCMP goons won't be prosecuted for killing Robert Dziekanski?

The USian officials were worried about the legal consequences of their actions. The Canadian RCMP behaved (and continue to behave) as if they knew that such questions would never arise.

"Oh Canada ....!"

...and the RCMP torture was videotaped, rendering its extent and nature incontestable.

You obviously haven't been paying attention to the inquiry. :-)

It's high time some real accountability was brought to the RCMP. That, or scrap them entirely. We don't need such a massive, self-interested force blighting the body politic.
