Sorry, Jollyjacktar.  I don't control the comments. We're getting some more info and I might have a follow tomorrow on this, explaining more of what what was going on. 

Folks, I'm working on a story about this guy.  Please feel free to send me any intel/info.  I'm also looking for an ex-RCR pathfinder who would be willing to go on the record and help me establish how we know he's not a soldier. Best, James james.cudmore@cbc.ca

Why's that?

The pursuit of "leakers" is not at all related to this corporal.  Different cases all together.

The rumour is true. I reported it and posted a version of the story in a new topic (was that a goof?) with an appropriate thread title. Mod note:  Now merged into this thread

Hello folks, Here's something I worked on, today. I'm not sure how to set it up, though. Maybe it's a warning? The commander of the Canadian army has threatened to go after soldiers who provide information to the media without permission and "pursue disciplinary action against them,"...

I sent it out on Facebook.  Twitter soon.   

Anyone want to talk about this on the Radio?

Garb, That's a very interesting point.  J

Hey folks, Thanks for the renewed welcome. Here's the thing, I saw Westbrook's Youtube posting, because someone I am Facebook friends with in Ottawa had seen it on one of his friend's pages and that guy was friends with Westbrook's wife's sister, if i have that right. So, here's the point of...

Good folks all around.

Argh! Are you kidding? I've posted like, four stories  of the zillions I've written over the years I've been a member. And everyone's post here is designed to generate discussion. If  I'm not wrong, that's the whole (word edited) point of a web forum.

HI SF2, As a memeber of this forum, I read and post things that i think will be of interest to its members. The fact that we're on to page 3 of comments here indicates i did not get that wrong. Am I interested in what people have to say about my story? Sure. And that is particularly true in...

HI Puckchaser, My understanding is the issue of public vs private applies in a situation like this to the photographer.  If he's on public property, anything he can see is legally "public."  He'd not be snopping unless he was interfering in someone's reasonable expectation of privacy (in their...

Hi Strike, I'm a long-time reporter, and as far as I know, none of what you say below is supported by law.  There's no such thing as media credientials -- not regulation-based, anyway -- although you might see ISAF credentials issued to western reporters in a place like Afghanistan. I wear a...

This is getting a lot of comment traffic on our website.  The story leads to some interesting questions about how CANSOFCOM manages it's public-facing self.  http://www.cbc.ca/m/touch/politics/story/1.2426280 Mysterious military exercise leads to gruff encounter Small-town military exercise...

Dear George, I am afraid, in this instance, you're a little too quick to criticize (and I'm not sure why). I wrote that Natynczyk has already held his own going away party.  It was a BBQ.  I said it in a straight up fashion.  There were no lines to read between. There was no extrapolation...

It's no secret that media organizations DO, indeed, pay for our seats on the Airbus.  The PMO pays DND for the plane (unlike with the Challengers, as I understand it), and the PMO breaks down the cost and roughly splits it up. They publish to media agencies before the trip, and then agencies...
