...infinite regress...

There's a rumour and I don't know if it has been substantiated yet, but it's shooting across the blogosphere like wildfire. That Ramin Jahanbegloo, a former University of Toronto visiting professor and a brilliant remarkable man, has been arrested in Iran, and missing for several days.

I'm not going to expound on this at the moment, because at this point it is still a rumour. But I have the memory of Zahra Kazemi fresh-loud again and if it is the case that he has been imprisoned, and Canada does not do everything it can to get him back safe, I will be writing on TIG and vocal.

There was an article in a major newspaper months past about Canada's treatment of it's people abroad, and how different it is from the US. Canada was not treated very well in that article, but not unfairly in retrospect. They owe this situation the utmost care and action, not vague consular promises.
