Christie is an excellent example of what a journalist should be...factual but at the same time looks at the human side of life.
The truth in a nutshell, or what I won't read on vacation
A couple of nights ago, I found myself in discussion about what I will call the jihadi trials going on in Canada at the moment - one the trial of a youth charged in the Toronto 18 case, the other the case of Momin Khawaja in Ottawa.
I'd spent three days on the Khawaja case and several weeks immediately before it writing about the Brampton case.
I was pretty weary of being surrounded by hatred, which is what lies behind the criminal charges in both cases.
That anonymous youth in Brampton and Mr. Khawaja may very well end up being acquitted, but the one thing they won't ever be able to claim, except in the legal sense, is innocence.
