International Law

The biggest losers

The Toronto Terror Trial has officially become farce. As reported in the Toronto Star (under the damning headline “Terror Training or Dieting?”):

So was it simply a fat camp for Muslim boys?

Or was it a jihadist training camp where attendees were encouraged to wage war on Canada because of its military presence in Afghanistan?

A video was played in court of an RCMP officer, Sgt. John Tost, interrogating an 18-year-old camper.

During the 75-minute interview, Tost points out to the teenager that hundreds of officers would not have been part of a multi-million dollar investigation spread over thousands of hours if the group was simply on a winter camping trip.

Unfortunately, that does seem to be the question now.
