More on the mall ninja wannabee terrorists

[chickenfeet]

I'm not sure what to make of this. Some time ago, in a blaze of self-congratulatory publicity, the RCMP, CSIS et al claimed that they had smashed a major terrorist plot. There were plenty of people who were skeptical given the half-assed nature of the alleged plot. Yesterday a fifth suspect was released on bail. Note that this was a joint submission by the Crown and the defence which suggests, at the very least, that the Crown Attorney's office has a very different view of the nature of the plot than that conveyed by the RCMP in its initial press conference. It's impossible to make a more informed assessment as there is a publication ban in effect on the details.
