Why do you post stuff like this, Layla4?     You know that the backlash against Kent, Rempel, and Scheer (for trying to justify it) was for scurrying south just for the purpose of undermining their own Govt.    It wasn't about appearing in the U.S. press - it was about seeking U.S. media to attempt to create a backlash.     That was the clear intent and if you are trying to deny that that was the purpose then you fool nobody.
