Hurtig Leads Charge Against Space Weaponization

Hurtig seemed perplexed at the disappearance of the Canadian bishops in the past 20 years. "At one time the bishops were extraordinarily progressive, so socially conscious, so compassionate.

"We need them. My message is that we really are closer now to an apocalyptic event. And this isn't me. I quote Mohammed el Baradi at the beginning of my speech, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, who maintains that the chances of nuclear war are greater today than at any time in his lifetime. And then I quote Kofi Annan who says the same thing."

In the evening, Hurtig first directed people to vivelecanada.com, a new site on issues of Canadian sovereignty, which is getting 4,000 hits per day, then launched into his 90-minute speech, which began with this quote from Reuters:

"President George W. Bush is planning to put the first weapons in space. Despite large international opposition, budget papers sent to Congress on Monday showed that it is the first to set aside funds to start developing the kind of weapons President Ronald Reagan had in mind when he called for "a space-based defense initiative." Critics decried Reagan's vision as Star Wars.

Does Bill Graham actually believe this?
