Gunmen dragged passengers off a buses northeast of Baghdad and killed 21 people, including a dozen high school students. The attackers spared four Sunni Arabs... The 12 slain students were apparently headed for Baqouba to take exams.
Of the dead, 19 were Shiite Turkomen and two were Kurds....
In Baghdad, gunmen in a car opened the fire on a minibus carrying telecommunications employees to work in the Shiite slum of Sadr City, killing four and wounding two, Col. Hassan Challoub said.
On Saturday, a suicide car bomber blew himself up in a crowded market late in Basra, killing 28 people and wounding 62.
Hey, where is the word "massacre", by the way? Why do I hear it applied against the Marines who are alleged to have shot civilians after a firefight, but not against terrorists who execute high school students and slaughter shoppers in a market?
And in Canada, our sweet, peaceful, and somewhat gullible neighbors to the North found that certain kinds of cancer flourish best in those conditions:
Seventeen Canadian residents were arrested and charged with plotting to attack targets in southern Ontario with crude but powerful fertilizer bombs, the Canadian authorities said Saturday.At a news conference in Toronto, police and intelligence officials said they had been monitoring the group for some time and moved in to make the arrests on Friday after the group arranged to take delivery of three tons of ammonium nitrate, a fertilizer that can be made into an explosive when combined with fuel oil.
"It was their intent to use it for a terrorist attack," said Mike McDonell, a Royal Canadian Mounted Police assistant commissioner. He said that by comparison the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, which killed 168 people, was carried out "with only one ton of ammonium nitrate."
The 17 men were mainly of South Asian descent and most were in their teens or early 20's.
Now, I specifically used the New York Times as the source here because, besides the oblique reference to "South Asian descent", there is no mention at all in the article that this group was made up of Muslim extremists. It isn't until the end of the story, when the Times lists the names of the arrested, that one infers that this is a Muslim terror cell. Again, the Times protects the enemy - had this group been comprised of Jews, or Republicans, it would have been part of the headline, of course....
Quick Question - how had the group been "monitored"? The article mentions that internet exchanges had been under scrutiny for some time; where telephone calls monitored as well? 'Cause if so, then these poor terroris - I mean poor victims - have had their civil rights violated and should be freed immediately!
Sexion has some excellent commentary - here:
This is happening in Canada, the flag of which Americans supposedly affix to their backpacks when traveling abroad. For anyone who understands what this terrorist threat is all about, this is no surprise. Those who don’t, what will they attribute this to? Will they claim it is Canadian imperialism, military oppression, unilateralism, or involvement in Afghanistan? Of course they won’t. So what then?
And points out the liberal's silence on the surveillance issue here-
The Toronto Star also reports that the arrests resulted by use of internet surveillance by Canada’s intelligence service, CSIS, which was also one of the targets of those arrested. This comes a day after prominent liberal blogs were beside themselves that the US government wants to enact similar legislation as exists in the EU, forcing Internet Service Providers to keep records about their members’ usage for up to two years
And while the jihadis in North America and abroad work to commit mass murder, the Washington Post helps them out by putting sweeping conclusions about Haditha on its front page:
Who lied about the killings, who knew the truth and what, if anything, they did about it are at the core of one of the potentially most embarrassing and damaging events of the Iraq war, one that some say may surpass the detainee abuse scandal at Abu Ghraib prison.
Hmmm..."damaging events"? How about dragging kids off of school buses to be shot in the head, or killing 40 people shopping for food in a market? How "damaging" is that? That's one day's worth of work to your precious insurgents, and yet apparently it pales to a few smacked-around Iraqi prisoners and the "event" in Haditha, where very, very few of the facts have even come to light...
And where is John Murtha today ? I would like to hear him explain how leaving Iraq in the hands of the butchers of Baghdad and Basra is in any way a good thing....
Finally, Kathy Shaidle at Relapsed Catholic has some sound advice for her fellow Canadians:
Regardless of whether or not immigration built this country, it may now destroy it. If you persist in believing all your "Heritage Moment" pieties you are a delusional coward. Female fetuses are being selectively aborted, buildings are targeted for destruction, elected officials are harrassed by "refugee rights" activists, innocent bystanders are being shot by gangs because we refuse to acknowledge that all cultures are not created equal and not everyone can be allowed into our country.
(And if you are one of my many American readers: please stop basing your immigration policy on a bad poem engraved on an ugly French statue...)
Liberal guilt and decades of brainwashing has blinded even the best of us. And it will cost you the very culture you so cherish. Dear "socially liberal" conservatives: There will be no "gay marriage" under sharia. All those "cute" exotic cafes will be riddled with bullets. Your daughters will wear burquas. Secular humanism will not save you -- it is in fact the very cause of our problem. You think being nice will save you. Remember what Perry Smith told the cops: "I thought Mr. Clutter was a very nice gentleman. I thought so right up to the moment I cut his throat."
For once in your life, get mad about something...
Alas, for the folks at the Times, or the WaPost, or in the Democratic party, the only folks permissible under PC doctrine to get mad at are those lousy Americans...
