A happy night in Libville...

As their most recent cause-celebre gets paroled...
Ms. Martin made a surprise return to Canada on May 1 after being handed over to Canadian authorities.

But her flight home on a government-chartered Challenger jet – at a cost to taxpayers of some $80,000 – raised eyebrows.
How about we get Brenda to start payin' that money back?
According to the 110-page verdict, the judge found Ms. Martin guilty of depositing and transferring illicit funds.

Between March and August of 2001, she received nearly $60,000 in Canadian funds in her Mexican bank account, and about $3,000 of it was transferred from the Latvian bank account of one of Mr. Waage's shell companies.

Most of the money – $38,700 – was transferred by Ms. Martin from another account in her name.
That's funny... I don't recall Steffi or any of his pet monkeys ever talkin' about this kind of valuta.

What's up with that?

In some scummy, third world backwater jail... will Steffi and the Fiberals work just as hard... to get him back?
A teen gang member wanted in connection with the TTC's first-ever shooting on a subway is believed to have fled the country, Toronto Police sources say.

Ibrahim Sadat, 17, a member of the Falstaff Crips is wanted on warrants for attempted murder, aggravated assault and assault. A court granted police permission to release the youth's name and photograph -- normally protected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act -- in hopes of aiding in his arrest over the shooting of a woman transit rider.
He's at least as worthy as Steffi's other "poster child."
