Canadians taking part in Iraqi insurgency

[CHIMO]

The head of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) says Canadians have joined the insurgency in Iraq.

James Judd, the director of CSIS, revealed Thursday evening that some of the foreign fighters in Iraq battling coalition troops are Canadians. He said there aren't many, but more are expected to join.

Speaking to reporters at a break during a security conference in Montreal, Judd was asked if Canadians were in Iraq fighting against the American-led coalition. "Yes, I believe so," he said.

According to Keith Boag, the CBC's Ottawa bureau chief, the Prime Minister's Office was "flabbergasted" that such sensitive information could be released by the head of the spy agency. "They didn't know it was being spoken about publicly and for that they are very angry."

1. I don't trust ANYTHING CSIS says, they were very much part of

the Arar case and would lie at the drop of a hat for whatever suited their purpose, imo.

It is VERY interesting that Mr. Judd is speaking publicly about this, no wonder the PMO's office is furious. One has to wonder what Mr. Judd's agenda is in doing and saying this.

out of Iraq and send them home where their needed.

4. We'd better hope this isn't true

Talk about starting an American civil war, only in this case of a continental variety. The liberals over here are having enough trouble with these NeoCons. If that happened, any alliance with liberals here could be seen as sympathy with an enemy nation.

I'm sure this is twaddle, but yeesh...

5. Joining the AMERICANS in Iraq who've joined the rebels.

Does America realize yet that there are AMERICANS in the "insurgency"? Faux Moos hasn't reported it, of course...
