My Time In The Sun Is Done

Ahhhhhh........

I'm off the hook.

Kim Bolan has come out to the Canadian Press:


VANCOUVER, Feb 24/07 11:01pm (CP) - There's no need for an investigation into whether a government official leaked the identity of a potential witness in the Air India bombing case, says the reporter who broke the story.

Vancouver Sun reporter Kim Bolan told The Canadian Press on Saturday that there was no leak from anyone and that the story was done on her own initiative.

The Liberals demanded Friday that Prime Minister Stephen Harper's office look into whether anyone in government or law enforcement provided that confidential "security information" to the Sun.

"The story was not a plant by anybody," Bolan said. "All this talk of plants by the government or the RCMP is ludicrous.

"Nobody has disputed a single element of the story because it's true," said Bolan, who has covered the Air India case since the tragedy in 1985.

Bolan said it's ridiculous that politicians are reacting as if the information is some kind of security breach. She said anyone who has covered the Air India case in any detail has the information.

The prime minister himself referred to the Sun article in the House of Commons last week.

Harper touched off a chorus of catcalls as he attempted to draw attention to the report that the man in question was the father-in-law of Toronto Liberal MP Navdeep Bains.

The Liberals had said it was obvious that some public official - either in government or law enforcement - leaked Darshan Singh Saini's name because only they would be aware that the RCMP might want to question him.

Conservative House leader Peter Van Loan denied any government involvement and said the Liberals could complain to the Vancouver Sun if they had a problem with the story.

Now I can get to work on that post about all the things I did not learn from Ms. Bolan (with a little help from GWest).

OK?
