It’s possible that I shall make an ass of myself. But in that case one can always get out of it with a little dialectic. I have, of course, so worded my proposition as to be right either way (K.Marx, Letter to F.Engels on the Indian Mutiny)

Presumption of Innocence
Lingering suspicion about Arar troubling says Jim Travers in the Toronto Star.
As I and others have pointed out it is troubling, especially when it comes from the Conservative Blogosphere.
They for whom the state is all, while individual liberty is to be sacrificed for the good of the nation.
Wait a minute, I thought the conservatives were supposed to be libertarians and support the individual and their rights against the state.
But of course their ne0-libertarianism is just a cover for their real politick which is the State Right Or Wrong. When it is no longer convinient it is quickly abandoned for Fuehrerism.
