Still fishy, but not quite as damning as some here are asserting. Some of the people in this thread seem to have drawn their conclusions from headlines rather than the actual story itself.

You know what is pretty much irrefutable though? The PM appointed all of these people in the last few years and his judgement is terrible. Between Wright, whomever told Wright this was a good idea, and the 3 disgraced senators you have to wonder if there is a good decision made.
Did Harper lie? I'll say its debatable and until more/all the evidence comes out we don't know for sure. Did Harper cover this up? I say if not personally, then at the very least the attempt was made through his office and staff. But these people he chose for important roles are obviously poor choices and I don't think that is a questionable comment.
I don't know about you, but a PM who makes terrible decisions and appointments is a PM who ought to be voted out. Obviously that's just my opinion, but I doubt I'm alone.
