I like the way they associated the great boogey-man Iran and Al Qaeda there.

IIRC Al Qaeda and Iran are not historically noted for their friendly relations. Am I wrong?

Not saying Iran is not involved, but I didn't think it likely that BOTH Iran and Al Qaeda would combine...

They're not on good terms. It smells like the beginnings of a political cook-up for the benefit of Canadians to get us on board for a possible war against Iran.

(CNN) -- Canadian authorities have arrested two men accused of planning to carry out an al Qaeda-supported attack against a passenger train traveling between Canada and the United States, a U.S. congressman told CNN on Monday.
"As I understand it, it was a train going from Canada to the U.S.," Rep. Peter King, R-New York, chairman of the counterterrorism and intelligence subcommittee, said.
The news follows an announcement earlier in the day by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police that they had arrested Chiheb Esseghaier, 30, and Raed Jaser, 35.
The two men are charged with "receiving support from al Qaeda elements in Iran" to carry out an attack and conspiring to murder people on a VIA railway train in the greater Toronto area, Assistant Police Commissioner James Malizia said.
"When I speak about supported, I mean direction and guidance," he sa

Story continues.

Christ. Iran = al Qaeda now? This sounds like the bogus Iraq=Terrorism link again. I hope they aren't up to some bullshit to try and justify an attack on Iran.

One man's terrorist is another man's justifiable critique of Justin Bieber.

Criminy ... you're onto something there. Celine Dion, Bryan Adams and now Justin Bieber.

Did you hear that Justin Bieber wanted to bring his monkey when he went to Germany.

The monkey was arrested for trying to bring dope into the country.
