Phil > what are the chances of an Iranian accord, given statements from the US that they blame Iran and Syria for all the problems? None. Israel has committed an unprovoked act of war against Lebanon right now. today.reuters.com

Phil, I think this will be of interest to you. theglobeandmail.com >>Client set up, defence lawyer says after mole unveiled. An RCMP informant's decision to go public with how he infiltrated a group accused of plotting terror attacks on Canadian soil has infuriated the lawyer of one of the accused, who says the group was set up. Mubin Shaikh's apparent involvement in a police operation that resulted in 17 men and youth charged last month shows there is “no terrorism in Canada,” lawyer Rocco Galati said. The police didn't have a case against the accused, so they relied on an informant to “set everything up,” Mr. Galati said. “They have to fabricate it,” Galati said, reacting to Mr. Shaikh's assertion that he befriended the group's alleged ringleader, Fahim Ahmad, last October. “I've seen some other disgusting so-called terrorist cases, but the stench of this one is starting to exude even before we get into court.” Mr. Shaikh, a prominent member of Toronto's Muslim community, identified himself on Thursday to several media outlets as a paid police informant who was ordered to place himself in the group. He said he was concerned about the impact of their plot on all Canadians and on the country's Muslim community. The RCMP refused to comment Friday on Mr. Shaikh's statements or his role in the investigation.<<
