Some of you will remember Michael Bryant, the AG of Ontario who dragged bike courier Darcy Sheppard to his death ... after first ramming him from behind as seen on the video below. Now that a safe interval has passed Michael is releasing a memoir. The link below the video is to the CBC's coverage of it in which they carefully use the passive voice to describe "when he was involved in an incident which took a cyclists life."

Here's a fun game; let's think of all the other things we could report with that phrasing:

Terrorist attacks: "Osama bin Laden was involved in an incident which took some Americans' lives"
Rapes: "The Penn State coach was involved in an incident which violated some children"
Theft: "The suspect was involved in an incident in which some people had their money removed and spent by someone else."
