Harper, Mounties have not told Guergis nature of allegations
By Jennifer Ditchburn (CP) – 43 minutes ago

OTTAWA — Helena Guergis has never been told what the serious allegations are that compelled the prime minister to eject her from caucus and call up the Mounties, her lawyer says.

Howard Rubel said that his client, the former junior minister for the status of women, said neither the RCMP nor the government has shed any light on the matter.

"Ms. Guergis looks forward to responding as soon as someone tells her what the allegations are, the serious allegations that have been turned over to the RCMP to investigate," said Rubel, who has also represented Guergis' husband Rahim Jaffer.

This is getting more bizarre by the minute. She's lost her job, and been publically and nationally villified by the PM, and yet doesn't even know what she's being investigated for?

1. I think Kafka wrote a story about this

About a guy who is arrested but never told the charge. There is a bit of this in 1984 (Orwell) too.

2. Life imitating art?

I don't mind Kafka, but the Orwellian part bothers me.
