Somebody understands!

I have a couple of thoughts about the Conrad Black trial coverage, but Robert Silver over at Macleans.ca covers at least half of them a lot better than I can.

The other big thought? When it comes to trial conducted under US laws, it is best not to listen to Canadian pundits when it comes to the likely outcome (especially if they have some sort of personal relationship with one of the main defendants; this probably disqualifies 99% of all Canadian media.)
