Hicksey Posted March 4, 2006 Report Posted March 4, 2006 T2: They're white, same difference, right? Telling portion of your hypothetical exchange. All just a feeble attmept at humor. No bad intentions of any kind right?! Quote "If in passing, you never encounter anything that offends you, you are not living in a free society." - Rt. Hon. Kim Campbell - “In many respects, the government needs fewer rules, but rules that are consistently applied.” - Sheila Fraser, Former Auditor General.
betsy Posted March 4, 2006 Author Report Posted March 4, 2006 Sorry for not being able to debate...I asked the particular question out of real, genuine bafflement as to why McKay had gotten in the hot seat. I've been reading your arguments though. Didn't the terrorists assure that they had no plans of handing these captives to extremist cell (or am I confusing this particular kidnapping to that of another)?. That they had, for how many times now, postponed the execution date? McKay's "loose lips" may have exuded confidence....but confidence for what exactly, is another matter. It could be "confidence that this particular terrorist group will do the right thing", after all, they do seem different from the dreaded butchering ones. What I'm saying is McKay's unguarded comment can be seen as both a negative and a positive...depending on the reader's interpretation of it. Quote
BubberMiley Posted March 4, 2006 Report Posted March 4, 2006 That's true. The terrorists might have wanted to live up to the nice things MacKay was saying about them. Quote "I think it's fun watching the waldick get all excited/knickers in a knot over something." -scribblet
gerryhatrick Posted March 8, 2006 Report Posted March 8, 2006 Well lookey fellas, Mackay himself is agrees with the point I've had to defend here: While MacKay said Ottawa was monitoring the file, he didn't want to speculate on the situation."Out of respect to the very, very sensitive nature of any hostage-taking, the least public discourse, the better," he told reporters Tuesday afternoon. http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/stor...hub=CTVNewsAt11 Due to the sensitive nature, the least public discourse the better. What does that mean? Guess the little fool is able to learn a lesson, so credit to him for that.
