StoryCommentsEmail StoryPrintSize A A AReport Typo.I come not to bury Julian Caesar Assange and not to praise him either. I come to complain about his unfinished business. I demand Julian Caesar Assange publish the following cables:

1) Where’s the cable that surely must exist of Stephen Harper communicating with heads of Christian Fundamentalist pastors giving hidden agenda instructions. Prime minister you are failing miserably at being the family-friendly fellow you presented yourself as being at our secret meetings. Now get serious about outlawing homosexuality, public child care, and divorce.

2) Where’s the cable of the PM taking instructions from the National Rifle Association. Why are you only concerned about unregistered rifles and shotguns? The real agenda is getting pistols into the hands of all Canadians regardless of immigration status or criminal record.

3) Where’s the cable to the PM from the U.S. health insurance industry. It’s time to gut medicare like a trout. Whet the Canadian appetite for U.S. health care. Get emergency rooms more clogged than Macy’s on Black Friday.

4) We want to see the cable that we know Julian Caesar Assange must have in his possession concerning the prime minister’s well known sadism toward Afghan detainees. Where’s the cable of him instructing the military to hand over as many detainees as possible to those Afghan soldiers who have special skills in the art of torture?Where’s the cable with the prime minister saying: Waterboarding is not enough for these people. I want them on the rack. I want serious damage done to them, especially the innocents. Are we doing enough to train the Afghan interrogators to be indiscriminately brutal? I don’t want to hear any bollocks about human rights and the Geneva convention.

5) We desperately need to see the cable where the prime minister gets the truth from U.S. President George W. Bush revealing nothing but the truth behind the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.We know Julian Caesar Assange is at this moment in possession of the document which has Bush saying to Harper: Steve, you know how important it is to our military industrial complex to have our country in a permanent state of war. You know how important it is for Exxon to have good markets and good prices.You know how important it is for Boeing to continue to manufacture as many jet fighters as possible, and you know that we’re cutting you guys in for some vig on those deals as long as you continue to have your guys placing orders.

Look, you know how the game is played. We can’t just rely on those unreliable goofballs in the Middle East to do something large enough to create a crisis. So we recruited a guy from a good family that my family’s been doing business with for years. His name is Osama Bin Laden.

Had no choice, Steve. Without a healthy military industrial complex, I’m nothing but a spoiled dumb son of a former president, and without us, you’re just an economist at some no-name think tank.Play ball with me on this one, Steve. If not, we may have to help the leader of your opposition party, the one from Harvard who had dreams of a job in the oval office. We had to tell that fool that technically he’s still a Canadian.— Adler is a national talk radio host on the Corus Radio Network and at www.charlesadler.com charles.adler@sunmedia.ca

Corrections Canada hires first female Muslim guard-Recruit in training to work in men's prison By KATHLEEN HARRIS, QMI AgencyLast Updated: December 11, 2010 1:52pm

Email StoryPrintSize A A AReport Typo.OTTAWA - The Correctional Service of Canada has hired its first female Muslim prison guard who will wear a hijab specially designed for the dangerous institutional setting, QMI Agency has learned.CSC confirmed the recruit is now on her second week of a nine-week training program in Ontario and will be placed as a guard in a men¹s federal penitentiary when she's done.As a correctional officer, she will be permitted to wear gloves and long sleeves to avoid skin-to-skin contact with male offenders in accordance with her religious and cultural practices, but has been told she may be required to remove them if circumstances require it.It has required some research on our part to ensure her religious and cultural needs are accommodated within the parameters of our requirements for safety and security of institution and staff, said CSC national spokesman Graham Andrews.After processing the recruit's application, the CSC formed a working group to work out ways to address both the employer's and the employee's needs.A special hijab head covering is being developed that will come off easily if an inmate grabs her, instead of giving the offender physical control.Efforts are also underway to obtain equipment such as a breathing apparatus that works with the hijab.CSC and the employee have also established a mutual understanding about physical contact with men, which is prohibited under the Muslim faith.

During exercises, she is wearing gloves and a long-sleeved shirt so that she doesn't have to have contact with males in that situation. But she is fully aware that in an institutional environment, there may come a time when she does have to have skin-to-skin contact with males. She is aware of that, Andrews said.The employee has also worked with CSC to develop a schedule for prayers during break times that respects her religious requirements while also fulfilling the expectations of any other participant in the rigourous training program.Andrews said in past, CSC chaplaincy and human resources have worked with Sikh employees to develop special turbans suitable for the prison setting.There have also been special allowances for a replica kirpan to be worn inside the penitentiary.Andrews does not believe there has ever been a job application from a woman who wears a burka, but said any request would be evaluated in the overarching context of institutional safety.As an employer, CSC strives to create a diverse work force that reflects both the prison population and Canadian society at large, Andrews said, noting 6% of staff are visible minorities, 7.9% are aboriginal, 4.6% are people with disables and 47.6% are women.kathleen.harris@sunmedia.ca

Taiwan confirms mass producing cruise missiles by Staff Writers
Taipei (AFP) Dec 9, 2010


Taiwan has confirmed for the first time that it is mass-producing cruise missiles, despite fast warming ties with China.Mass production of indigenous weapons like the ones under the code names of Chichun (Lance Hawk) and Chuifeng (Chasing Wind) is very smooth,Deputy Defence Minister Chao Shih-chang told parliament Wednesday.The problems with key parts and components that had previously stalled the manufacturing have been tackled, he said in reply to queries raised by legislator Lin Yu-fang.The Chichun project refers to the Hsiungfeng 2E cruise missile, Taiwan's answer to the US-made Tomahawk. Chuifeng is a project to develop the island's long-anticipated supersonic anti-ship missile.Chao declined to specify the range of the missiles or the number to be put into service.Surely the cruise missiles will be able to boost Taiwan's self-defence capabilities, Alexdander Huang, a professor of Tamkang University in Taipei, told AFP.But that's it. Taiwan is unlikely to use such weapons to take the first strike against the targets on the mainland.The cruise missiles could be launched from land or sea, and would be capable of hitting airports and missile bases in southeast China, as well as cities such as Shanghai and Hong Kong, local media said.

Taiwanese experts estimate China's People's Liberation Army currently has more than 1,600 missiles aimed at the island.Tensions across the Taiwan Strait have eased since Ma Ying-jeou of the China-friendly Kuomintang came to power in 2008 on a platform of beefing up trade links and allowing in more Chinese tourists.However, China still refuses to renounce the possible use of force against the island in its long-stated goal of re-taking Taiwan, which has ruled itself since the end of a civil war in 1949.The Pentagon said in an annual report to Congress earlier this year that China's military build-up against Taiwan has continued unabated despite improving political relations.

Russia to deliver S-300 missiles to Kazakhstan: official
by Staff Writers Moscow (AFP) Dec 8, 2010


Russia is to deliver to Kazakhstan its sophisticated S-300 air defence missile system in order to bolster the defences of its ex-Soviet Central Asian neighbour, an official said Wednesday.Russian Defence Minister Anatoly Serdyukov and his Kazakh counterpart Adilbek Dzhaksybekov had discussed the possible delivery of the missiles during talks in Moscow, said Russian defence ministry spokeswoman Irina Kovalchuk.
She said the deal would be in line with strengthening a shared defence space, in a statement on Russian news agencies.At the current time, work is being carried out on the preparation of a corresponding contract, she added.The S-300 air defence missile system is one of Russia's most prized defence products and its refusal to fulfil a contract to deliver the weapons to Iran has sparked an unprecedented crisis in Moscow-Tehran relations.
