PMO won't answer key questions in Cadman affairUpdated Tue. Mar. 4 2008 4:08 PM ET

OTTAWA -- Repeated appeals to the Prime Minister's Office since the Chuck Cadman affair surfaced last week have failed to yield direct answers to the following queries:
1. Did anyone from the Conservative party, or connected to the Tories, offer Cadman a million-dollar life-insurance policy?
2. If Tom Flanagan and Doug Finley offered Cadman a repayable loan, what was the amount and what were the terms of repayment?
3. What did Stephen Harper mean when he said in a 2005 interview that "an offer'' that included "financial considerations'' was made to Cadman?
4. Why didn't Harper say last week that he told Dona Cadman more than two years ago that he didn't know about the alleged life-insurance offer?
5. Why did the Prime Minister's Office and the Conservatives first deny an offer had been made, only to later say a repayable loan was offered?
6. What motivation would Dona Cadman, a Tory candidate in her husband's former riding, have to fabricate a story about the life-insurance offer?
This was reported by the Canadian Press, for the Canadian press, and CTV ran it as an actual article. My question to you is, who's repeated appeals? The Canadian Press? CTV? The Liberal party? Dion? WHO? It's a mystery, but it's also masquerading as a "story".
Nope, not even any "unidentified sources" have been quoted. So, what was the MSM's motivation in running this "story"? HA.
Here's a helpful chart for the media to use for their next "made-up" story:
Now, kids, pay attention, one of the 5 W's is WHO!!! This "story" is missing the most important element in our little star, the WHO! See it right up there at the top of our star, in the gold?
"Who are you? WHO? WHO?", I'd really like to know!
