The Democrats including Kerry has always maintained that the way to fight terrorism is to treat it as a "law and order" problem and not as something which can be solved through military troops. G-8 law, security chiefs vow stepped-up fight on terror Jun. 17, 2006. 01:00 AM MICHAEL MAINVILLE SPECIAL TO THE STAR MOSCOW—Law enforcement and security chiefs from the Group of Eight club of wealthy nations, including Canadian Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day, pledged yesterday to step up international co-operation in the fight against terrorism. Meeting in Moscow ahead of next month's summit of G-8 leaders in St. Petersburg, Russia, officials said more needs to be done to share information on anti-terrorism efforts and to prevent terrorists and organized crime groups from operating across international borders. Officials said they had discussed measures to prevent terrorism recruitment on the Internet, share information on stolen or falsified passports, exchange data on plane and train passengers and upgrade transportation security. "We all reached the conclusion that we need an updated and more effective anti-crime and anti-terrorism strategy in today's conditions," Russian Interior Minister Rashid Nurgaliyev said after two days of talks with counterparts from Canada, the United States, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United Kingdom. Officials, including Day, said more needs to be done to limit the use of the Internet to spread extremist views. "The greatest efforts in our time, which can advance the human endeavour and the human condition, those same things can be used and are used by people in all societies ...in a way that is harmful or hurtful," Day said. He described the talks as constructive and said he had briefed his colleagues on the recent arrests of 17 suspects in connection with an alleged plot to bomb targets in Toronto and area.Deputy Justice Minister John Sims, who also attended the talks, said building international contacts between law enforcement bodies is essential "so that we can tear down barriers and obstacles that get in the way of what we need when we have to react quickly (to threats)." Sims said he was unaware of any concerns that Canada isn't pulling its weight in the fight against international terrorism, as some U.S. politicians have suggested. *U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales stressed co-operation at the meeting, saying "the United States stands committed to work side by side, shoulder to shoulder" with other G-8 countries.* thestar.com
