Should RCMP Commissioner Stay or Go?

This is a very serious matter, the police agencies from municipal to federal have been taking a beating in the last few years. Corruption, scandals and brutality have been the cornerstone. Now the Commisioner of the RCMP giving false testimony. I do agree that the PM should fire him. But, with all due process. The Liberals have been notorious for firing people, and then feeling long drawn out court battles for wrongdoing and big money restitution.(Mr."I'm entiteled to my entitlements" Dingwall) for example. The opposition should take a deep breath, and relax until all legal avenues have been explored. Thus allowing the PM to dismiss the Commissioner legally and ethically, without a leagal backlash that will embarass our Government and cost us taxpayers in the end.

Thank You, Rob

Hello Nik;
Letting Zaccardelli resign was to good for him...he should have been fired, and at his first
deposition, which satisfied no one following this story.
The Geneva conventions (1948), etc... were brought about in order that we have conventions
of wars - human rights...It is proved that no amount of torture is going to fetch the truth.
I heard that Mr. Arar is sueing the government for $400,000. million $, and if a proper
apology from PM Harper had come immediately, it might have made a difference as to the amount.
Even after the report, Mr. Arar, is unable to fly to the US...Afterall, he was always, "just
a person of interest".
What about those in the RCMP who were rewarded after this? Should they have been,
and should they not also resign?

Anyone with an appreciation of how command structure would agree that Commissioner Zaccardellli was telling the truth when he testified there was no way he could have known what was going on until briefed by senior officers. He made an honest mistake and did what is expected of person in his position—he resigned. Maher Arar was a person of interest prior to al-Qaeda’s attack on the World Trade Centre; individuals do not become persons of interest by virtue of being Muslim. Ahmed Khadr, Chretien’s favourite terrorist, also claimed he was unjustly imprisoned. Under pressure from Muslim lobbyists Chretien managed to get him released while ignoring the plight of Bill Sampson another unjustly imprisoned Canadian under sentence of death in Saudi Arabia. Sampson only had his father to lobby on his behalf, militant Muslims have money the Looney Left to act on their behalf.
