I used to have sincere respect for Canada. Now I consider it a dangerous joke.

There are many ways destructive materials can be clandestinely brought into CONUS.

The porous borders North and South of the lower 48 are portals for potential martyrs (in search of 72 virgins) to gain entrance. They do this daily.

Be assured when it comes to mohammedheads of the dangerous variety the northern border with Canada is a greater threat than Mexico will ever be.

Thank you for recognizing that the North border is just as much of a problem - and it's probably more of a problem, due to geography.

Wonder if the folks who use the border argument to push their anti-Mexican agenda will show up here to acknowledge this?

U.S.-led war on terror has made al-Qaida even more dangerous: CSIS official

Colin Perkel
Canadian Press
March 15, 2005...The U.S.-led war on terrorism has made al-Qaida an even more dangerous organization, a senior Canadian intelligence official said Monday.

The blunt assessment of the group's increased "lethal effectiveness" came during a bail hearing for an Egyptian national detained as a threat to Canada's national security.

U.S. action in Afghanistan that followed the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks "significantly degraded" al-Qaida's infrastructure and its ability to provide support for other extremist Islamic groups, said the official, identified only as J. P.

However, that merely prompted terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden to put out calls to like-minded groups "to take over the fight," said J. P., the deputy chief of counter-terrorism with the Canadian Security and Intelligence Service.

"That appeal has been effective," J. P. told Federal Court Justice Eleanor Dawson.

The effect has been a "net increase" in terrorist activities and the results can be seen in "broken bodies and blood in the streets," he said.

"We now have a more dangerous al-Qaida."

J. P. was testifying in the bail-release application of Mohammad Mahjoub, 44, an Egyptian who has been in a Toronto jail since being detained as a threat to national security since June 2000.

Canada's spy agency alleges Mahjoub was a leading member of the Egyptian terrorist group Vanguards of Conquest, which has close ties to bin Laden's al-Qaida.

Egyptian authorities tried Mahjoub along with 106 others in a trial condemned internationally for its unfair process and torture of witnesses. Mahjoub was sentenced in absentia to 15 years and maintains he would be tortured if returned to Egypt.

J. P. testified the intelligence service is sensitive to the possibility that information from foreign sources could be wrong or politically motivated.

He also said CSIS annually reviews the human-rights records of countries with whom it has a working relationship.

We do not use information that appears to have been solicited from torture."

J. P. agreed with defence lawyer John Norris that increased scrutiny of Arabs by security forces has made non-Arabs, such as African-American converts to Islam, more valuable to al-Qaida as terrorist operatives because they attract less attention.

"(Al-Qaida has) always placed a premium on individuals who have the ability to be as stealthy as possible in the theatres of operation," J. P. said.

"It is now perhaps a greater premium. Their value has increased to the organization."

However, he was emphatic the people selecting targets and masterminding attacks has not changed.

"The old-guard al-Qaida is still involved in making those decisions."

Mahjoub is deemed a threat based in part on people he knew or associated with.

But Norris told the court that a man deemed a security threat in the United Kingdom because of his senior status in the Egyptian terrorist group was recently freed without conditions.

The last assessment of Mahjoub's security threat is two years old and therefore may no longer be valid, Norris said in an interview.

J. P. said Mahjoub, if released under strict conditions, could still go underground and carry out terrorist attacks in Canada.

I have an anti-Mexico and anti-Mexican bias that is incontrovertable.

The government of Mexico has been inherently evil since Spain left North America.

It is a cancer on the arse of America and the conduit through which hundreds of thousands of lowlife pour into the U. S. annually.

The government is so corrupt that it's no wonder many decent Mexican citizens want to leave.

These illegals need to stay South of our border and duke it out with the federales.

I believe that conditions with Mexico are so bad that we need to close our embassy and break off all diplomatic relations.

Mexico has allied itself with, not only Castro and Chavez, but with Iran, China and Russia who want to build a beachhead (as if Panama wasn't sufficient) to launch destruction on the U. S.

That great epicurian oasis is right off 101 in the Agoura Shopping Center.

Just something to break the monotony of serious discourse.

Anti-Mexico? Anti-Mexican? Thanks for at least being honest about your motivation.

As far as the actual protection of the US borders where terrorism is concerned - I'll put more stock in those folks who recognize that the border with Mexico only makes up about 1/8 of the total US border and coastline.

You have to understand what is happening in Mexico, however. The government of el Presidente Fox is playing footsies big-time with our other enemies: Iran, Russia, Cuba, Venezuela, etc. etc.. Those nations want a foothold in this hemisphere and that, of course, has nothing to do with the ridiculous NAFTA treaty.

Something doesnt add up here. If our border to the north is so ungaurded (which is true in many places) and Canada really is overflowing with Terrorists & Jihadists, why arnt they sneaking accross the border in droves to blow up buses, movie theatres, etc.?? Why would Al-Qeada want to get extremists into the U.S. via Mexico with Honduran issued passports if they could just do it the easy way, from the great white north??
