Also noteworthy was the absence of Taliban Jack Layton... a man who would normally walk across broken glass to get a soundbite on the 6 o'clock news.
"We in no way intended to suggest that our Canadian Forces personnel were in any way associated with terrorism," Creba said.

"I'm sure it will be analyzed to death, conclusions will be drawn, studies will be done, but I was on the ground and I feel just as bad for that poor American pilot," said Sprague, who fractured his skull. "His reactions saved lives that day, too."And that, my friends on the lunatic left... is the Canadian soldier personified.
