|Scott is going to chuckle upon seeing this, but I just can’t resist commenting on the latest on developments in the Suaad Hagi Mohamud story. During a bbq held this past week for Progressive Bloggers the discussion of both her and Abdul Razik came up a few times, and the subject invariably came to how Suaad’s situation would develop once the DNA exonerated her. Being the cynic that I am, I immediately insisted that the Conservatives won’t immediately intervene and will say that they have to leave her case up to the Kenyan courts… in spite of the fact that she was turned over to the courts by the Canadian government, and that they are the ones that are essentially the complaining witness against her.
Well, sure enough:
Asked last night if Ottawa accepts the DNA result as proof of identity and, if so, when the government will send her home, Canada Border Services Agency spokeswoman Tracie LeBlanc replied: “It would be inappropriate to comment … as this matter is still before the courts.”
Apparently citizenship isn’t worth the paper its printed on… or at least, citizenship is only worth the amount of pink ink that’s used.

So it was just peachy for Cannon to himself make remarks libeling her two weeks ago, over the protests of family and neighbors and friends. But now that she has been PROVEN to be a Canadian by DNA tests she requested, they feel it’s time to go silent.
Why do I get the feeling that this is just beginning when it ought to be ending. Is their calculation that it is better to let her rot in the Kenyan judicial system - as the government requested, btw - rather than admit a boneheaded mistake and bring this woman home?
Is that what governing means to Harper and company? If so, it’s clownish beyond belief.
Your last line sums up the Conservatives.
