Phil > No wrongdoing! Now that that is cleared up, everything is OK now. Not quite. What is needed is legislation similar to Holocaust Denial legislation where anyone who so much as dares to suggest that US soldiers killed anyone, including women and children, unless it was absolutely necessary to do so, would be guilty of a crime and sentenced to a minimum of 10 years at Guantanamo. It's about time people started treating the US with the respect it deserves.

Phil, do you think these suspect "terrorists" even know what ammonium nitrate is? nytimes.com >>Several of the people arrested by Canadian authorities in a huge counterterrorism sweep over the weekend regularly attended the same storefront mosque in a middle-class neighborhood of modest brick rental townhouses and well-kept lawns. The police announced the arrests yesterday in Toronto. The eldest of the 17 Canadian residents arrested in the sweep, Qayyum Abdul Jamal, 43, was described by his lawyer as an active member of the mosque, the Al-Rahman Islamic Center for Islamic Education, though not its leader. "He's on the board, he's there regularly, but he's not an imam," said Anser Farooq, the lawyer representing Mr. Jamal and three other people from this Toronto suburb who were arrested Friday night and who also attended the same mosque. "He's one of about a half dozen people who lead prayers at the mosque." Authorities in Canada and the United States continued today to piece together information from the lengthy investigation that culminated in one of the largest counterterrorism strikes in North America since the Sept. 11 attacks. Canadian officials said the arrests foiled a series of planned terrorist attacks in southern Ontario. None of the targets were identified, but Canadian authorities said the Toronto city subway system had not been among them. Police and intelligence officials made the arrests late Friday night and early Saturday morning after the group accepted delivery of three tons of ammonium nitrate, a common fertilizer than can be explosive if combined with fuel oil. The same type of fertilizer was used in the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City that killed 168 people. In that explosion, one ton of ammonium nitrate was used to make the bomb. << Anyway, I've no doubt that the National Post will be screaming for the blood of all the suspects -- and their children. And you can also be sure that Canada will shortly have its very own "Patriot Act".
