Much innuendo is being made of the actions of the accused "terrorists" and what they are accused of plotting.
The allegations against this bunch are serious, of that there is no doubt. We should be cautious about these accusations, and insist that these people are tried in public. After situations like Maher Arar's "rendition to Syria", and Mohomed Harkat's detention under a "security certificate", it is vitally important that these accused are handled with a transparent, open trial process.
It is far too easy to use "security certificates" and other methods to bury the evidence out of the public's view. The result is a show trial that calls into question the validity of the trial and court process itself. Canadians need to know that the accusations against these people are substantiated by the evidence, and we aren't simply engaging in a pseudo political exercise.
A progressive voice shining light into the darkness of regressive politics. Pretty much anything will be fair game, and little will be held sacred.

I just hope that the RCMP haven't done something stupid like when they blew up the shed in the Wibo Ludwig case.
