Victoria deputy police chief Bill Naughton states that American sailors are "very good ambassadors for their country." If that is true, why is there any need for the U.S. Naval Criminal Investigative Service to be present in Victoria at all? Also, this "collaboration" is precisely like the arrest of Marc Emery, carried out on behalf of American DEA agents. What's the next step? Helping U.S. Customs officers arrest the owners of local stores selling Cuban cigars or hemp shirts to American tourists? When will Canadian officials get on their hind legs to offer some resistance to American intrusions into Canadian affairs? Don White, Victoria. - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
