Clearly, CNN would have to rely on "experts" to express the proper animus toward radical Islam, so helpful in reinforcing Washington's arguments about the need for US military actions in Iraq and Afghanistan, and possibly even a strike against Iran.
Now that we in Canada allegedly have our own homegrown terrorism, we have apparently entered the big leagues of media terrorism hysteria.
Soon our television news programs will be just like CNN. It will be all security, all the time. So much for other news.
Some commentators here seem almost elated by the turn of events.
Finally, we can get on with the job of redesigning Canada more along the lines of a repressive fortress, stamping out soft-headed notions like tolerance, civil rights and respect for other cultures...

I heard a would be mass murderer complain that he was tortured by Canada in jail because he wasn't given ordinary eating utensils. He has a chorus backing him in these heady claims.
Now who's hysterical and who's not?
The video is of the decapitation of a lifeless body. If he'd been alive, the whole room would have been fire-hosed in blood from his severed arteries, as the guy was sawing off his head.
Zarqawi had nothing to do with this guy's torture, murder, and false flag propaganda video.
What do you THINK the CIA and SAS guys are doing in Iraq, anyway, as they run around dressed up as arabs? They're not handing out lollipops.
No, they are OBVIOULSY executing their own citizens!
"Zarqawi had nothing to do with this guy's torture, murder, and false flag propaganda video."
Berg’s own father believes it was the Zarkman and his band of merry freedom fighters who murdered his son. On what grounds do you make this claim?
Welcome to the world of your own logic. Take a look at the Toronto Terror threads if you don't believe me.
Thanks for the CNN link – watched it live, actually.
As for the peace rally video or whatever that was, I didn’t bother wasting my time.

Here's a good debunking of the video:<br />

The fact is that we have no idea who really killed Nick Berg, however it's unlikely that the real al-Zarqawi did it, since he remained hooded yet the text in the video clearly stated that al-Zarqawi was the head chopper. Why would al-Zarqawi keep a hood over his face when his face was well known already, and he was supposedly confessing to the crime right on video?
"Experts are urging the federal government to act quickly to enhance Canadian sovereignty in the Arctic before melting ice encourages more foreign vessels to use the Northwest Passage.<br />
<br />
Byers criticized the federal government for failing to act on its promises to buy three armed polar ice breakers and to establish a deep-water port on Baffin Island."<br />
<br />
Where is the incessant media yapping over the abject failure of the Harper government to address it's many election promises? This is far and away more important than some "terrorist" blather............<p>---<br>RickW<br />

That was about the worst cheap shot I've seen here.

BTW, I don't care what the Liberals promised in 13 years. We all knew that's all they were - promises. The only reason the Libs stayed in power as long as they did was lack of creditable oppositon. The Libs could have (and very nearly did) promise the moon and the stars.

That question requires too much logic rearguard for those that don't question.
