Funny how this isn't anywhere on CNN.com
- Thread starter MMike
- Start date
Hmm, no mention of the "go pills" in that story either. Remember kids, drugs are bad, unless you're a pilot in a warzone where tweaking is encouraged.
Why oh why would they have scheduled the hearing on July 1st?

That guy should NOT be penalized in anyway.
No, wait, listen...
If this is the same story and I believe it is, the guy saw something suspicious in enemy territory and asked permission to engage. He waited while all sorts of officers on the ground -- including a Canadian liaison officer who called his superiors -- were checking whether there were any friendlies in the area. All reports came back that there were NONE.
So he engaged.
AFTER the fact, the Canadian officer got a report that his people did indeed have personnel there.
How the heck is it the pilot's fault?
I remember this bullsh:t story from back then. If new info came to light after the fact, post up. Otherwise, I hope this guy walks.

I don't necessarily think that anything should happen to the guy. War is hell and all that.
I just found it curious how it was apparently not newsworthy down here....

Not when we are getting news from Canada like this...!
Canada's Martin Still Can't Get Election Date Right
22 Jun 04
THUNDER BAY, Ontario (Reuters) - If you want to find out when Canadians are going to the polls, don't ask Prime Minister Paul Martin. He still doesn't seem to know.
When Martin officially announced last month that the federal election would be on June 28, he got the date wrong twice. And when he addressed a rally of the ruling Liberal Party on Monday night, he made another mistake.
"Now is our decade. Let's take it -- that's why we're going to win on the 28th of October," he told a crowd of supporters in the central Canadian town of Thunder Bay.
Polls suggest that when Canadians vote on June 28, Martin's Liberals will lose their majority in Parliament.
