Granularity Dept: It is, to say the least, surprising that Mr. Fadden would not have noticed the CBC was still filming. But at least he owned up to this very human mistake, according to Globe And Mail. But at least Mr. Fadden says he “would not offer such detail again.” As to why Mr. Fadden fingered unnamed politicians who might be under the spell of foreign governments, it was all a misunderstanding, he said. The CBC had been invited to film his speech to the Royal Canadian Military Institute in March as part of CSIS's attempt to enhance the public's comprehension of how it operates. During the question-and-answer period, Mr. Fadden, thinking he was no longer on the record, “provided a degree of granularity or detail,” he would not have ordinarily given to the public. When asked about it in a later CBC interview, he felt compelled to repeat the allegation. That Mr. Fadden made the revelation in any public setting at all is more disquieting. The possibility that some politicians are working in another country's interest is not a run-of-the-mill intelligence finding; it is a serious, indeed, extraordinary charge though not rising to the level of treason, as suggested by the Bloc Quecois . Such suspicions merit energetic investigations, not vague public musings. As
reported in the news.
