Anti-terrorism Laws

Do you remember in February, when Harper was trying to extend the anti-terror laws that Canada passed in the wake of 9-11? Do you remember how he said that without these laws the Air India inquiry might grind to a halt? Do you remember how he had the families of the victims stand with him for an impromptu press conference?

Well, it turns out he wasn't exactly right. The police didn't need more power to get to the bottom of this travesty, they needed less. It looks like all the way through this inquiry, while Harper was pressing to give away our freedoms in the name of George Bush's "war on terror," the cause of this tragedy was simple police incompetence, followed by an elaborate cover-up.
