excuse me while I adjust my tinfoil hat...
Does anyone else find it a little convenient that when our government is having trouble convincing Canadians that our troops need to be in Afghanistan, when our government is having trouble convincing Canadians that we are in danger of being attacked by terrorists, and when our military officials are defending their troops role in Afghanistan, that a major arrest of seventeen men just happens?
First off, there's the high profile arrest and arraignment. Police with automatic weapons and body armor, which shouldn't be necessary once they have their suspects in custody, all lined up for the press. Several police forces, with their top officials, all lined up for the press. Seventeen men, whose activities, histories, and criminal records miraculously just happened to be available to the press, and then you have to include the fact that all of these men are of the Muslim faith... And of course, the comparison to the bombing of the Murrah building in Oklahoma City just happened to make it into the papers.
But where, oh where, is all that Ammonium Nitrate fertilizer?
The police will show the media and the public samples of the fertilizer, but where are the three tonnes of fertilizer this group supposedly purchased from the RCMP? Three tonnes is a lot of fertilizer to store somewhere. You're not just going to put this in a backyard, or in a garage, are you? Where is it? I want to see it.
The media around the world is eating it up. But I'm not hungry.
Something is rotten in the press...

Still, the Leafs would have done more destruction than this "terrorist" group.
