A long portion of a documentary by CBC's Washington correspondent Neil Macdonald about the assassination of former Lebanese prime minister Rafik Hariri and the investigation into his death was featured. I think it, along with its presentation on the CBC website, exemplifies good investigative journalism.
Macdonald exposes holes in the UN that have led to the delay of arrests that should be made based on substantial evidence collected by some hard working people (once police officer, in particular, who was murdered for his work).
What Macdonald did is what every journalist should strive to do. It's nice to have reminders like this once in a while as we slog through CreComm on our quest.

We need more of this kind of reporting, providing context and updates on almost-forgotten stories.
