These guys are bumbling idiots. The timing for this "terrorist bust" is perfect for political purposes.
Tim McViegh was no genuis. Richard Reid, the shoe bomber, wasn't the brightest match in the match box either. Mohammed Salameh was arrested in the 1993 WTC bombing when he tried to get his deposit back on the rental van used in the bombing. A really dumb thing to do.

Even stupid people can do lots of damage. (Just look at the Bush administration.)

I am not saying that you are wrong, only that I am witholding judgement.

How so? Are Republicans running for election on a xenophobic platform in Canada too?

"As such, the arrests last week come at convenient time for the Harper government. A rise in the public's fear quotient could increase popular support for his decision to keep Canadian troops in Afghanistan another two years to wage war against Taliban and other insurgents.

Polls show that public support has been slipping for that war. The spectre of terrorism at home, however, might convince more Canadians that the Afghan war is necessary.

(Given that police have said the suspects are homegrown terrorists unconnected to any international ring, it might make more sense to station Canadian troops in Mississauga, where most of the 17 live, rather than Kandahar. But it is unlikely the Harper government will make this argument).

The arrests also come at a time when Parliament is conducting a mandatory five-year review of Canada's new anti-terror laws. Before the arrests, there was a possibility that parliamentarians might recommend that the Harper government ease up on some of those laws. That now seems unlikely.

For this, we can thank one of the world's most incompetent — or perhaps one of the world's most far-fetched — terrorist conspiracies."

Could the CIA be behind this, to encourage the neighboring country to renew its anti-terrorism laws?
