Stephen Harper's Privy Council Decisions, 2006-2011
The finely tuned Governor-in-Council
"[39] Section 12(8) of the Telecommunications Act stipulates that when the Governor in Council makes an order such as this, reasons shall be set out. Mr. Heintzman, Counsel for Globalive, described the structure of the Governor in Council's document as being one in which the section 12 Order is set out in the "Whereas" pages and the decision under section 16 as to whether Globalive is in fact not controlled by non-Canadians is set out in the Schedule. Mr. MacKinnon, for the Attorney General, argued that both the "Whereas" portion and the Schedule can be said to constitute the Order and the Reasons. Counsel for the Applicant and those supporting the Applicant were puzzled as to what portion of these documents can be said to be the Reasons."

BBC trash and sceptic tanks
"0022Brian Katulis of the Center for American Progress tells the BBC's Matt Frei that most of what the US is doing on Egypt is happening behind the scenes. He says there is an "aggressive diplomatic surge" to push Egypt's rulers to the next stage: a negotiation over power. That looks to be a complicated political negoitation involving a diverse array of opposition figures. Mr Katulis says we should not forget the real fragility of the situation: this is a country that has suffered before at the hands of Islamic extremists."
If you're gonna quote these guys, you should say where their money comes from. How does Matt Frei end up talking to Brian Katulis? Where is the conflict of interst disclaimer?
