CSIS specializes in deep cover operations, as they did with setting up the Heritage Front, may have set had an agent provocateur within the cell. Did they in effect create this very cell to keep track of Sikh Nationalist Militants. Did they end up supplying them with the explosives they needed.
It has been done before by the RCMP. Who were also bugging the same cell, and could they be in possession of evidence of CSIS wrong doing?
Again a jurisdictional dispute arises allowing each security division of the State point fingers at each other for their mutual failure to halt an operation they both had under surveillance. "Mountie cited Air India threat days before bombing, memo says"
We may never know unless Justice Major gets to see all the evidence.
And if ever there was a case against State Security Laws like the Anti-Terrorism Act that give the police unlimited powers of arrest and detention, as well as the ability to declare operations secret and blacked out, then this is it.
This along with the Arar case, the Ottawa Citizen Case, etc. etc. is evidence that we have the same old Keystone Kops operating in the same old fashion that the MacDonald Commission on the RCMP identified as the problematic source of their wrong doing and undoing as a secret security force.
Something that the Conservatives fear dreadfully hence their out and out attempt to fabricate links between the Air India disaster and their current attempt to extend the Anti-Terrorism Act. An act that was put in place years after Air India.
How embarrassing for a self declared Right Wing Law and Order government that is demanding an extension of its draconian authoritarian Anti-Terrorism Act being told it is this very act that is halting the Air Inquiry.
Instead the Harpocrites take a page from the Bush White House and their yellow cake from Niger, Saddam has Nukes, falsehoods.
Harper and Co. are now spuriously linking the renewal of the Anti-Terrorism Act with the Air India inquiry, claiming the RCMP need the act to catch the bad guys twenty-five years later, and after a court case freed them because of CSIS/RCMP bungling.
What Justice Marshall needs is open access to ALL Government files from all its agencies involved in the Air India affair. And that demands the elimination of all Official Secrets Acts including the Anti-Terrorism Act that allow the State to cover up it's Keystone Kops agent provocateur's and their incompetence.

For example, if you look at 9/11, it is clear who gained from the attacks - with needed excuses to go to war and pass through dictatorial powers, the people lost, the supposed "terrorists" (a.k.a. ME Muslim's) lost, and the only entity that gained was the US government and its cronies. Other governments around the world jumped on the bandwagon and took advantage of the paranoia and fear for their own power gains. In short, everyone lost while government, oil, and military establishments gained substantially.
After the Air India bombings, was there specific legislation passed almost right after the event in response that normally would not have gone through? Did the powers of the government increase after the attacks? What form of goverment spending went out of the roof in response to the bombings?
Can anyone suggest who or what entity gained from these attacks?
Eugene, you left out the fact that this "draconian authoritarian Anti-Terrorism Act" was put in place by the Chrétien government, held in place by the succeeding Martin government, and now held in place by the succeeding Harper government. It would seem that this "draconian authoritarian Anti-Terrorism Act" was put in place by "The Government".
The bottom line is that we're getting hosed by a fake democracy run by insider hacks who hide behind bought and paid for politicians who make believe they oppose each other.
