Terrorist wannabees "unlikely suspects"
"Unlikely suspects"? Catholic grannies are unlikely suspects. Chinese- and Indo-Canadian Buddhists and Hindus are unlikely suspects. But Pakistani and Iranian Muslims with burqha wearing wives? I think not.

The thing that I don't get is the bombings these Muslim fanatics are accused of planning would have been their way of making a statement. Right? You can be sure that if they had succeeded in carrying out their plans (and I'm including the so-called Toronto 18 here) someone would have notified the media to claim responsibility yet when they're caught before hand, missing their opportunity to have their say, they lawyer up and claim innocence. So much for their beloved cause (whatever the hell it might be). NeilD
"It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their consciences." -- C. S. Lewis
