If only another 19 men had been arrested in August 2001.

Socialist P.C. Canada is an ideal advanced training camp and base to launch an assault on the USA. There are probably similar cells operating in Mexico.

Drudge had a headline on his page yesterday. He never linked it to an article but it said that we are monitoring 12 different cells right here in the US.

[prairiebreeze]

You're probably right. But I'm grateful they nabbed these 19. Gotta see the progress when I happens.

Thanks for posting this.

'Federal investigators found an "alarming" network of immigrants, tied to a Toronto diploma mill, whose activities include trying to get into a nuclear compound...'

Of course, people disposed to permanent ignorance and worshipping the "feelgood" gods of PC and multiculturalism are incapable of seeing that setting up a 500-student phony school, maintaining it (even on paper) requires a huge support structure that goes far beyond 19 'misguided' Pakistanis.
Both in terms of financial as well as moral support.

The long term planning inherent in the move, as well as the commitment to the purpose of such fraud should make people's hair stand on end, and prompt serious thought about "naturalized" citizens from certain areas of the world.

There are probably similar cells operating in Mexico.

Social attitudes and structures in Mexico are not normally things we admire or consider desireable.
In this case it is a very good thing, since "tolerance" is non-existent there and there is a no-BS attitude about strange people engaging in strange behavior.

The odds of successfully being an undercover muslim terrorist cell in Mexico are considerably lower than in Canada and the US.

Does anyone have a link to the Toronto Star?

Someone also said on another that they arrested a '20th Candian highjacker' on drug charges and rather then being arrested he jumped from a 7th floor balcony.

No, but I have the Stairway to Heaven CD.

Wow. That's creepy. He'd rather die than talk. Ouch.

[mtbopfuyn]

It's good they were caught, but why did they get in?

Um, maybe they got in because Canada is asleep at the wheel, ya think? The question now is will this cause them to wake up and help up with the border.

[prarie earth]

these guys were the real deal, on visas from a fake school..more details http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=thestar/Layout/Article_Type1&c=Article&cid=1061503819120&call_pageid=968332188492&col=968793972154

I wonder if these are the same Pakistanis who were nabbed while taking photos outside a nuclear power plant in the USA about a year or two ago.

Yep, those governments and the Talibani's are no different in allowing AQ operations and training bases.

[prarie earth]

They were crossing the border according to the Toronto Star article.

But I thought that since Canada was so Advanced and Tolerant, and opposed the war to disarm Iraq, that the Mohammedan Terrorists would leave them alone.
