| CANADA’S SPENDING watchdog slammed the Liberal government for falling short of protecting Canadians from terrorists by leaving "significant gaps" in basic anti-terrorism measures. Auditor General Sheila Fraser found that front-line airport workers still don’t have access to a database of lost and stolen passports — 25,000 of which are reported annually. Meanwhile, back at the ranch... A LOCAL MAN with alleged international terror ties was charged yesterday under post-9/11 anti-terror laws for allegedly aiding an unnamed terrorist organization during the past four months. Momin Khawaja, 24, was charged under the Criminal Code for allegedly participating in or contributing to an activity of a terrorist group between Nov. 10, 2003 and March 29, 2004 in Ontario and London, England. He’s also accused of facilitating a terrorist activity between the same dates. The Canadian-born Khawaja, a software programmer under contract to Foreign Affairs, was arrested Monday at work while RCMP officers raided his family’s home on Princess Louise Dr. in Orleans. Amazing how this happens. Same day the Government gets rapped for lack of attention to terror issues we find somebody arrested, and the bleeding hearts still complain "This is a sad day for Canadians. I’m just shocked they would authorize something like this," said Qasim. "I would say it’s a sad, sad day for Canadian democracy." Like, cry me a river. This guy was working at Foreign Affairs, Canada’s State Dept. Maybe his security clearance was under review? Or maybe the Feds just needed to make an example of somebody. This is Ottawa after all |
