Harper and MacKay have a self-image of being warriors.

However, the hallmark of a warrior is honesty, integrity and honour.

MacKay the way of the warrior would be to stand in front of the Commons Committee today and do the honourable thing - "seppuku "the modern figurative meaning being "spill you guts". Take responsibility for your actions, as be a real warrior.

If anyone wants to see what a true warrior handles themselves take a look at what Gen. Walter Natynczyk did today. He stood up and explained for all Canadians to hear that he had said something that wasn't true yesterday - vis.: the Afghan passed to Afghan authorities and mistreated (e.g. torture) had not been detained and that he learned last night that that wasn't true.

Natynczyk did the honourable thing, given the context.

MacKay is obviously going to say that he was not aware of any Afghan detainees transferred to Afghan authorities and has said there was no evidence of such.

What MacKay fails to point out that it was his and O'Connor's and Harper 'sand all the Con government's job to investigate and determine that no such thing was, in fact, occurring and ensure that no such thing would occur. This is especially true when Harper decided to up the activities of our troops in Afghanistan to out and out combat in 2006.

Harper has been going around the world lately wrapping himself in the Canadian flag, but achieving only to sully it (Gar Pardy, retired Canadian diplomat speaking on: active diplomats may not be wiling to stand up to Harper and MacKay after seeing the insult as and character assassination Colvin suffered and in the Canadian media where he couldn't defend his honour).
