I have to agree with Mr. Elcock’s comment. Latest news is that the jury has retired for the day. This will be the second half-day of its deliberations. It began on Monday afternoon and reconvened today at noon following the return of Justice Maranger to the bench.
It is simply not credible that an intelligence partner entered into a personal arrangement with Ortiz on an operation. While the jury may, nonetheless, be convinced otherwise, as is wont to happen with juries, it is simply not how intelligence relationships work. W P D Elcock
Love the reference to Gouzenko. My uncle, Charles Rivett-Carnac, was the RCMP officer who took him in and looked after him between the defection and the trials that followed. With respect to Ortis, no evidence from the supposed Five Eyes colleague? How do we know Ortis wasn't paid via an unknown offshore account?
How could I pass up this once-in a lifetime opportunity to recommend my novel, (The Data Raiders), dealing with a Canadian version of Edward Snowden? I’d never heard of Ortiz when I wrote, I swear!
