It was only after weeks of international outrage that Canada's House of Commons, in response to a motion sponsored by NDP leader Jack Layton, unanimously voted on Monday to condemn a death sentence faced by an Afghan journalist.
About time, too, although the Harper government still hasn't had much to say about the case, at least not for the record.
punditman says: Warning: the above link is very disturbing and perhaps not suitable for everyone. Welcome to our Afghan allies: Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. I doubt very much that those who fall into the idiotic, flag-waving, ribbon-buying, crazily conformist Don Cherryesque category know anything about this story. After all, when it comes to Canada's Afghan mission, they may say they are all in favour of debate, but they actually want no debate at all. They are content to just watch hockey and salute, and keep drinking that Molson's/Coors Kool Aid.
