rights: Our lawyers in a world where Might is Right- Monday, April 14, 2003

dealing with the generalities and the specifics of the legal system as it protects
itself and often avoids any conflict that might cast shadows upon itself. The pictures
tell about a similar story that surfaced early this morning as CBC has been digging
into the death squad cases and Saskatoon Police force.
