    Cindor Reeves on CBC (updated)

    The CBC has picked up the Cindor Reeves story. I originally reported he would be on CBC Radio’s The Current today. That has been moved to tomorrow. I understand Alan White, previously of the Special Court for Sierra Leone, will be on the show as well. I have several blog posts on Reeves. This article provides most of the background.

    Shameless self-promotion: ITQ does CTV – and CBC too!

    While ITQ is busily engaged in what she will cheerfully, if geekily admit is one of her very favourite journalistic activities — putting together as obsessively detailed a timeline of this latest Tale of the Tape as she can construct from available sources — interested readers can check out her chat with Dan Matheson on CTV News earlier today. Meanwhile, even earlier today — like, crack of dawn early —  she was in a teeny tiny CBC studio with none other than Kory Teneycke, chatting with The Current’s Anna Maria Tremonti about — oh, you know, things. Anyway,  soon as the audio goes up  — which also includes an interview with Colleague Maher, although sadly, he wasn’t in the booth with us, as he’s still in Halifax —  I’ll add a link to that, too.
