I just read this in Kevin Drum’s blog:
The usual dodge for anyone in the Bush administration who doesn’t want to talk to the press is to decline comment on a matter that’s “under investigation.” We don’t want to throw sand in the wheels of justice, after all. And since practically everything in the Bush administration is under investigation these days, it’s a pretty handy excuse.
Which – in the wake of the Basi/Virk trial’s bombshell allegations of political dirty tricks and interference with the RCMP – sounds awfully reminiscent of any recent Question Period in the BC Legislature.
