Another view on the terrorists

As usual the latest crisis has prompted the brain cells to form an opinion about it. So here it is: I think that the RCMP and CSIS have been trolling the chat rooms for too long. They came across a bunch of fundamentalist whackos and then proceeded to induce them to do something "illegal", like buying 3 tons of fertilizer (which is a legal product to buy). As Wesley Wark commented a day or so later about this thought "Wait until they get in court and let's see the evidence, if all they have is a transcript of a chat room it will be tough to prove intent!"
Meanwhile the right wing press are going nuts and want to hang them all, the Harpercrites are reaping political hay and civil libertarians are as mad as hell. Give it time and hopefully the courts will do the right thing: that is assume they are innocent until proven guilty and base their decisions on the law. Of course this will drive the right wingnuts into fits of anger.
