Mustafa was collared March 16 with a packed suitcase, a full wallet and a large stash of fake documents. News of his arrest was leaked to the Sun on condition of anonymity, and federal officials are still refusing to comment on the case.
All of which raises an obvious question: Why all the secrecy around such a good-news story for both Canadian security agents and the Harper government, especially on the eve of the PM's visit with Bush to discuss border security and other anti-terrorism issues?
The answer is probably simple. Even in the Harper administration's dullest moments of political acumen (and they are a-plenty), it obviously dawned that the Mustafa story is precisely the stuff that makes American hawks see red at the Canadian border.

Really? Lax? Why, because we caught him? Funny that the organization he's alleged to belong to, the "Army of the Righteous" which is a Kashmiri independence organization, isn't even considered to be a terrorist organization by the US. Only Canada, the UK, Pakistan and India. Guess the Commonwealth still has some advantages.
Nice troll attempt, Anon. Sucks that you can't comment on your own story submissions.

No, because we let him into the country in the first place.
