A group of Canadian teenagers and young men in their 20s, accused by police of being members of a suspected homegrown terrorist cell, will appear in court this morning to face accusations that they plotted to attack Canadian targets, the Toronto Star has learned.
Kudos to the cops if true. But as the article points out, there are legitimate grounds for skepticism here:
Then there was Project Thread, a 2003 joint immigration-RCMP case touted as the dismantling of an Al Qaeda cell, but ending in a routine immigration case that sent Pakistani students home branded terrorists.
If I remember correctly, this was the case where one of the Pakistani students was taking flying lessons out of Buttonville(?) and flying rather close to the Darlington nuclear facility. Turned out that everyone taking lessons out of that airport flew past the facility.

3 THREE tons of explosives . . . .
of course there is some doubt . . .
get a life . . . and just hope they weren't targeting your family, your employer, your church, your friends.
they were targeting somebody
"there are legitimate grounds for skepticism here:"
What would it take to convince you, an actual explosion of 3 tonnes of ammonium nitrate???? How much of a body count would you require?
Moron...
I just hope CSIS and the RCMP are monitoring all the angry anonymice who go ballistic at the merest suggestion of skepticism.
The rest of us will, of course, have our skepticism dispelled with habeas corpus (do we still have that?) and the presentation of evidence.
