After a fifth estate report suggesting that Mulroney recieved some $300 000 from Karlheinz Schreiber from an account linked to the airbus affair, Conservative MPs are "not ruling out" reopening the investigation. Although they may want to seem "accountable" following the thrust of their election campaign, it seems rediculous to think that investigating Mulroney's actions is going to reveal new information. Keep in mind that the last time we investigated this $300 000, Mulroney counter-sued (for libel), and recieved a goverment apology and 2 million dollars (and we all discovered that even if the connection exists, there is no reason to believe Mulroney knew about it). Liberals certainly won't let this go, but the Conservatives may have to bite the bullet and ignore the critisism --reinvestigating this issue now will likely end with another apology and settlement.
