Can Canadians be Terrorists?
From the AP:
What I like about this article is the defense offered for the suspects by Steven Chand, who is a brother of one of the suspects. When the press asked Mr. Chand his opinion, he adamantly proclaimed their innocence and argued it was a witch hunt on the part of the police. His evidence?
"[My brother] is not a terrorist, come on. He's a Canadian citizen."
Which begs the question, can Canadians be terrorists? According to Mr. Chand's theory of crime, Canadians are incapable of being terrorists. It is true that they are generally peace and hockey loving people, but "come on" Mr. Chand, you'll need a better defense than that.
He did not seem to have a comment as to what the group planned to do with the fertilizer, the cell phone rigged into a detonation box and training gear.
Canadian police foiled a homegrown terrorist attack by arresting 17 suspects, apparently inspired by al-Qaida, who obtained three times the amount of an explosive ingredient used in the Oklahoma City bombing, officials said Saturday.Before I make fun of this, let me say kudos to the Canadian police for catching these people.
