Kalia & Dosanh's cell phone

Those who have been following the story from the beginning will remember that this was the first controversy. Grewal claimed the Liberals had approached him and offered him a number of things in order to cross. The Liberals claimed the opposite. There had been a middle man involved, Sadesh Kalia (some of whose phone calls Grewal taped: they have recently been re-edited and re-released--see here). Kalia came out and said that it was Grewal who had made the first approach (here)

In an email just now, Shirley (thanks Shirley) points out that youcan go to the CBC, click on The National, and hear the story for yourself, which starts at the 24 minute mark. Apparently Kalia had to contact a certain Amrik Sangha in order to get Dosanjh's cell phone number, something that both Kalia and Sangha now publicly affirm. Shirley adds:

The relationships seem to be as follows: Kalia and Grewal are old friends; Sangha and Dosanjh are friends. Kalia and Sangha know each other. Presumably Grewal and Dosanjh also know each other but not well enough for Grewal to have Dosanjh cell phone number.

This is, I think, the likeliest explanation. It is not completely impossible, however, that Kalia and Dosanjh had been doing business on a land-line and Kalia needed to get in touch with him quickly. But surely any earlier contact would have included the exchange of those details. (We hear such exchanges several times in the tapes.)
