"Much ado about Hillier"

See the first piece here, from the Montreal magazine Maisonneuve. Video of Rex Murphy on the CDS is here.

H/t to Terry Glavin--here's a good post of his:

Blowing Up Statues Of The Buddha All Over Again

Update: Christie Blatchford takes aim at a fellow Globe and Mailer, that relentless and thoughtless, blindly anti-American, devotee of soft power Lawrence Martin:

How General Hillier has made it respectable to be a soldier again

The full text of both pieces in available here--check the further comments. This is the second time, to my knowledge, Ms Blatchford has had the guts to take on her own paper (she takes on our media generally here). I like Beaverbrook's post on Mr Martin.
