Dear Editor:

Anne McLellan has the effrontery to claim police actions in raiding reporter Juliet O'Neill's residence are justified "because all Canadians are concerned about leaks that could destroy the reputation of a man and his family." During her watch as Justice Minister, concern over reputations didn't stop her from conducting a witch-hunt and kangaroo prosecution of make-belief "war criminals", against whom there wasn't a scintilla of probative evidence. Destruction of reputations and defamation of entire communities fits right in with Ms. McLellan's concept of police-state measures, as she continues to run amok in her new portfolio.

Yours,

Eugene Harasymiw, LL.B.
