From today’s Post:

“I was a professor of human rights, and I am also a professor of the laws of war, and what happened in Qana was a war crime, and I should have said that. That’s clear.”

Leslie Church, director of communications for the Ignatieff campaign, said that even though he prefaced his comment by referring to his expertise in the law of war, he did not intend to apportion legal responsibility.

“This isn’t a deliberation that Michael would make on his feet. There is no way that he would make a pronouncement on international law in this format, and that’s not what he’s driving at here,” Ms. Church said.

“He meant that this was a tragedy of war, that this was a deplorable act in war, that this was a terrible consequence of war.”

Remind me again why a candidate with a decade of political experience needs time to “grow into the role” of party leader and one with a year of political experience is our best bet to beat Harper right now?

UPDATE: MP Susan Kadis has withdrawn her support for Iggy over these comments.
