[Stanley Hoffmann] is also one of America's leading public intellectuals who, in interviews on Charlie Rose and elsewhere, accurately foresaw the immediate and long-term perils of the Iraq adventure. Though Hoffmann is a very wise man, he was not alone: Many respected intellectuals in the U.S., Canada and around the world opposed the invasion on moral and pragmatic grounds. Among their pragmatic concerns, which one might think was the domain of the politicians, was the conviction that the invasion, conceived in ignorance and deceit, would worsen the situation in Iraq and the Middle East and beyond. Similarly, as we know well, many politicians -- [George W. Bush] and Prime Minister Stephen Harper, among them -- failed to see what many intellectuals saw clearly: that, to quote Hoffmann, t...

Yet, Joubert was also hopeful a psychiatrist from Ontario, ordered by a judge to examine him, would free him from the Health Sciences Centre's PX3 forensic psychiatric ward. Told by his lawyer not to co-operate with the first psychiatric assessment in September 2004, Joubert was counting on the second assessment but scheduling problems made the waiting time drag for almost six weeks. I think he expected the (Ontario) doctor to get him out of hospital, that somehow all the doctors in Manitoba were all against him," said Glenda Burrows, the psychiatric nurse who was Joubert's primary care nurse during his stay at PX3 between Dec. 21, 2004 and his death on Jan. 31, 2005. The psychiatrist in charge of Joubert's care at PX3 shared Burrows' disbelief that Joubert had taken his life.
Queen's Bench Justice John Scurfield refused last year to allow CTV access to Erron Hogg's confession, saying it was an invasion of his privacy and could force other accused criminals to avoid giving statements to police for fear of publicity. [Jonathan Kroft] said there were no grounds to refuse the media's request for access. He said television relies on pictures to tell stories, and written transcripts of Hogg's statement wouldn't suffice. Hogg's lawyer, Sarah Inness, told court the media were engaging in "pure sensationalism" and blamed them for Hogg losing his job.
Every time [Leonard White] came up as a parole candidate, he had a story. He wanted to stay in Sask Pen, he had a boyfriend there, didn't want to leave," [David Shipman] said. White claimed another man named "Ricky Morris" raped [Dyke], but Shipman said exhaustive police efforts could find no evidence such a person even existed. "Every day, I think why did I do it," White continued. "He raped her, I stabbed her. Right in the chest, she tried to stop me, I kept stabbing away, stabbing away. When you're mad, you just want to keep on going.
If what I did was an error in judgment on my part, I apologize," [Andy Pettitte] said Saturday in a statement released by his agent. "I accept responsibility for those two days. Pettitte asked the trainer he shared with Roger Clemens, Brian McNamee, to help him with HGH while on the disabled list early in the season, the report said. McNamee recalled injecting Pettitte two to four times, [George Mitchell] said. "This is it -- two days out of my life; two days out of my entire career, when I was injured and on the disabled list," he said. "I wasn't looking for an edge; I was looking to heal."
Paul Bernardo's jailhouse confession to a 1987 knifepoint assault culminated Wednesday in the exoneration of a wrongfully convicted man who spent two years behind bars for the crime, a development the man's lawyer said shows the notorious sex killer's story is far from over.
