| Charges against Canuck terror ring unveiled |
| 2006-06-07 |
| The terrorist plot that Canadian authorities say they foiled included plans for a series of violent attacks in Toronto and Ottawa, holding public officials hostage, seizing media offices and beheading Prime Minister Stephen Harper if Canadian troops were not removed from Afghanistan, a lawyer for one of the accused men said in court today. The accusations — but no evidence to support them — were included in a government summary that was given to defense attorneys just before preliminary hearings began in a courtroom here today. The document was not made public. The charges, if true, would go far beyond the limited information that investigators have revealed about what they say was a wide-ranging conspiracy among 17 radical Muslim men and youths to use homemade explosives against unnamed targets in southern Ontario. |

| #4 But, JIM!!! The Mounties provided that evidence! Never mind they didn't provide the motive or means. Never mind that a sting is a completely different thing than entrapment. These guys will either walk or they'll be "political prisoners" not just for the Muslims, but the left as well. |

| #2 The accusations — but no evidence to support them — were included in a government summary that was given to defense attorneys just before preliminary hearings began in a courtroom here today. Do case summaries include evidence, or are they typically just, you know, summaries? The document was not made public. Yet the NYT knows everything that's in it. Note that every bit of "information" in this story came from the defense. The prosecutor "did not comment" and the investigators "have said little". In other words, the NYT is acting as advocates for the defendants. |
