A chill is settling on various blogsites over this rumour.
Now, on to updates:
I’ve had over 38,000 sitemeter hits today, and there’s “miles to go before we sleep”*. I read somewhere that fully 7% of the hits at Captain Ed’s are from Government of Canada servers. (On the blogosphere the watched watch their watchers). He’s probably going to clock half a million hits today alone.
Ed is going hoarse talking to Canadian media outlets – and he had larengitis to begin with. He’s supposed to appear on CBC Vancouver tonight. Go check it and the page that follows.
A question: Has anyone besides me noticed yet that the testimony leaked has very, very little to do with Brault? Exactly what is the publication ban protecting him from? Sympathy?

Faster, please.
So the latest is now up. Sickening…
The queastion is whether any such charge could stand up given the the precise terms of Gomery’s publication ban:
“The expression “publication ban” as it is used in this decision, should be taken to have the meaning those words have been given in subsection 486(4.9) of the Criminal Code, which states that “no person shall publish in any way (�) any evidence taken, information given or submissions made at a hearing”, in this case, a hearing of the Commission. In my interpretation of this disposition, “broadcast” includes a posting on the Internet.”
I don’t have the answer. But that’s the question.
That update was totally discusting, if it holds true the depth of the corruption far exceeds anything I’ve read.
A chokehold? Check the shades: Cool. Incognito,eh?
Who is the lady at the right shoulder; she of the haute visage?
Surely, Paul Tuns is on a second volume? Hope he beats Don Martin to the G-G’s award for best non-fiction (no sarcasm meant). Film rights, next?
What is the choker saying to the chokee?
I hate it that we’re all forced to knuckle under to this ban. If I had a blog I’d urge everyone to break it together and defy them but I’m not going to do that while I don’t have a blog myself. I can’t suggest others stick their necks out if I can’t too. But honestly, if every single blogger blogburst the story they’d be f**ked! There isn’t enough money to sue everyone!
As an affected party in this case, the taxpayer, with a contract with the people that were elected to represent us, I feel we have a responsibility and a right to monitor, sit in on, any case were there is a breach of public trust, and possible criminal activity in violation of that contract.
Sorry, had a legal brain fart…should be ok in a minute.
In fact, some medias here, in Montr�al, have already stated that there is nothing, as of Friday, really incriminating. It helps getting the the ban lifted. That and the fact that if the ban is lifted, maybe people will look somewhere else.
There is a lot we don’t know.

Glad to see someone else not sleeping – I am wired! Go Kate!
Gomery is acting like an idiot.This fool thinks he can keep a lid on information that he hasn’t sealed from public viewing…in this era? What a maroon!
Hey Gomery, It’s The Transparency,Baby!
Howie,
Gee whiz, don’t insult the Judge. That Kinsella’s job.
Heh. I guess in Warren’s lingo the current situation is a ‘Gomery Pyle On’.

Don’t you get it????
YOU AREN’T FORCED BEING FORCED TO KNUCKLE UNDER YOU ARE CHOOSING TO DO SO.
Go to blogspot, start a blog AND PUT THE STUFF UP.
A CROSS-BORDER SCOOP
Unless you’ve been living on another planet I guess most of you are now up to speed with the publication ban in Canada on a number of testimonies before a public inquiry into the misappropriation of public funds (the “Gomery…
The CBC’s evening news slightly spun, that the publication ban was unnecessary. Curious.
Earlier today the Liberals announced that they are donning the victims’ robes.
We mustn’t be hornswaggled by allowing the story to evolve into; bloggers flaunt the ban, or any other sideshows that will certainly be placed before us.
Eye on the booty captain, eye on the booty.
Watched both CBC and CTV national news tonight. Interesting – CBC belaboured that they couldn’t even identify Ed Morrisey… CTV put his name up on the screen during the phone interview, and once again displayed the page, headline included, unobstructed.
I dont’ often offer kudos to CTV, but in this case, I think we’re on the same side.
kate… i was spreading that meme, but it looks like a sitemeter artifact for the period that i was looking at the blog that shall not be named.
later on in the day, gc.ca went away and it was mainly the usual suspects of canadian broadband (rogers, sympatico, videotron, etc) but for a while he was being peppered by gc.ca
now the blog that doesn’t exist had 380k visits monday. huge, insane. 60k was a big jump, especially for a sunday, but this is almost 40 times his typical traffic.
soo does this mean that paulie is going to sleep with da fishes? here’s hoping.
the great thing is that if we go into an election, everyone is going to be doing their darnedest to just destroy the libs.
Well, I figured that at that rate, they were going to run out of gc.ca computers… tomorrow, anyway!
