Maybe there'd be more of a response if the attack ACTUALLY happened. :(

But damn, they were going to use three times the explosives as the Oklahoma City bombings!

Good on the Mounties for stopping it. (y)

that is how you beat terrorists without spawning an army of followers.

policing, detective work, surveillance and intelligence...


if there has ever been a moment i want to become a cop...

Except I hear that the police supplied them with the nitrate and it wasn't even the real thing. While I agree about police work etc., I think a wait and see approach is needed right now. I mean if the cops entrapped these folks it will all seem very different. I just think back to the guy the British cops shot last year in the tube. I seem to recall the cops there got caught in several lies about that incident. Anyway, I for one won't accept the police version of these events until there is some sort public vetting of their claims (as in a trial).
