Mr. Graves, as you well know, the DIGITAL FREEDOM CD-ROM is a fund 
raiser for DIGITAL FREEDOM BBS.

The CD-ROM has nothing to do with the Heritage Front at all.


I also question your motives about posting this article to UseNet.

This conversation would be much better handled through E-Mail.

I received your letter on May 28, 1996 and sent out the CD-ROM May 30, 1996.

If you are refering to the Heritage Front Affair... it is a complete sham.

I have talked to numerous people who names were mentioned in the SIRC report
and everyone of them have been either misqouted or out-right lied about.

You should certainly not hold it up like some kind of sacred document or quote from 
it called me part of the "donut shop gang"

I know at least 10 people (including me) who have personally filled out Affidavits reguarding this
BS report.  


And as to your claim about holding hearing is public.  I doubt it.  It is of "national security"

But we will both have to wait and see.

He only knows a few of the "Public witnesses" like Bernie Farber and a few others.

The "meat" of the governments case is brought by CSIS agents, who are protected
by the government.  SO Ernst Zundel or his lawyer Douglas Christie, will not know who is
testifying against him, what their claims are, or what evidence they are submitting.

His lawyer is also not allowed to cross-examine the CSIS witnesses.


Doesn't sound like a very fair trial does it!


>Is it your claim that the SIRC hearings constitute a criminal court meeting? 

The SIRC hearing are not a court of law.  The SIRC tibunal are free to set limitations as it see's fit.


>That, in fact, SIRC is acting as a court?

No a tribunal would be a better anology.

But none the less Mr. Zundel's free life is still in their hands.

If they come back and do not change what CSIS has claimed, Zundel will be deported back to Germanym since that 
is his country of origin.  Once he reaches Germany, he will be thrown in Jail for "Denying the Holocaust".
Even though those "criminal" offences where committed on Canadian soil, and within Canadian laws.

As I have already stated, His lawyer can cross-examine public witnesses like Bernie Farber, but not secret 
witness's that CSIS will call.

>and that these hearings have the force of criminal or civil law? 

No they will not.  They are a tribunal, as I have stated above.

>Are you claiming that SIRC is a court, not an oversight committee? 

Again with the courts.... read my answers above.


>Did you take civics in high school, Mr. Lemire?

Have to throw in petty sarcasm...

I notice people only do that when they either 1. have a weak arguement, 2. Are very childish

First off, this crap about me not having a thought of my own reguires no response from me.


Secondly, if you had evidence in the contrary to what I was saying you should bring it up.  Asking me a 
hundred times if I think the SIRC hearing are a court, is just plain stupid, get to the meat of the discussion 
and bring up other facts if you have them.

It does not matter what kind of court it is McVay, and you know it.  

The basic's of this is that if SIRC who is supposed to be the watchdog group over CSIS has to power to agree 
with the CSIS assesment of Zundel.  If they do agree with CSIS, Zundel will be deported, if they do not agree, 
he will remain here to fight the Sibina Citron civil suit.

Also keep in mind that SIRC has proven to be in "bed" with CSIS over the whole Heritage Front affair.

And as to your point reguarding Zundel knowing the secret witnesses, of course it has been established.  They 
have already told Zundel that he is not allowed to know the "secret" witnesses against him nor will he be 
allowed to cross-examine them.

What the hell do you think Zundel took SIRC to "real" courts for.  He was trying to say that it is 
unconstitutional to hold such a tribunal.

What an answer.  

I say that it is against Anglo-Saxon tradition to hold hearing where you can not face and cross examine your 
accusers, and you say... Thats what appeal is for.

Man are you ever out out to lunch.

And that reminds me... if you are considers a threat to Canadian security, do you think that once SIRC find 
for CSIS that he is going to get a chance to "Appeal" to anyone???

You are beating a skin-less drum with this court crap.

They have the power as I have shown above.  


BTW, Where has Zundel claimed these hearing are "official courts" as you claim..

Back up you claims

No it doesn't, but she has access to these certain documents that SIRC has released.  You don't.  

I am sure her analisis of the facts are genuine.

If SIRC back CSIS, a federal court would have no choice but to deport him.

We will have to wait and see.

I hope for Canada, you are right.

I doubt that.  If he is classed as a "security threat" to Canada, I doubt he will be "milking" anything for 
year to come.

Why are you so childish?
