Harper has already attempted to muzzle Hillier and control his access to the media (much in the way he has done with his own cabinet ministers). I am truly unimpressed with Harper to date.

Harper has made it clear that Canada is Canada and will act in her best interests regardless of who approves or doesn't approve of it. You won't read that in any of the Toronto rags though.
As far as muzzling people, Harper doesn't hold a candle to the former government who not only muzzled people but when they were allowed to speak, it was nothing but lies.
Give the guy a chance. Afterall it was the former govt that put soldiers in Afghanistan in the first place with no exit strategy. Is that Harpers fault also?
As for the dead soldiers, their loss is unfortunate. But I don't place them on a higher level than everyday police men and women who get killed in the line of duty. They know the risks and accept them.
Want to blame someone for their deaths. Blame the Liberal Party of Canada.
