“A pair of school children”

Shortly before the lunch break, Mr. Mulroney spoke about the letter of request, about being slandered by the government of his own country and the pain it had caused his wife and children. It was a deeply personal moment–he was reliving an awful time–and Mr. Mulroney struggled to tell the story. As he did, he looked out into the audience and saw the producer of the Fifth Estate, Harvey Cashore and Globe and Mail reporter, Greg McArthur laughing–laughing–at his testimony. It was that sight–not captured by the cameras–that caused Mr. Mulroney to break down.

“They were carrying on like a pair of school children,” said Mr. Mulroney after the break. “It just got to me.”

What a disgrace.
