The Harkat case is the most recent example of a historically close intelligence relationship between the two countries that has become unprecedented in its intensity as Canada and the United States work to thwart a global terrorist network adept at crossing national borders.

How adept do you have to be to walk from Canada to the US? Nobody is paying any attention.

Interesting. We hear on the one hand that the socialist government of Canada does not want to cooperate with us, and then we find an article like this one that clearly shows they ARE cooperating. I'm beginning to think that either there is a deliberate misinformation campaign going on or that our media is totally incompetent. . . . . .yeah, I know.

Zubaida, who was arrested in Pakistan in March and is in U.S. custody at an undisclosed location, identified Harkat to his interrogators.........

Thank you "America" for getting Zubaida to squeal on Harkat etc etc.....

Merry New Year kristinn !! Stay Safe !
