The National Post has an damning article on unclassified CSIS documents that show Canadian information similar to what the UK and the US have in the case against Saddam.
None are so blind as they that will not see. What the heck is it going to take?

Canadian intelligence officials have been warning the federal government for more than two years that Iraq has been working to build weapons of mass destruction that threaten Canada and its allies, unclassified documents show.

The publicly available reports prepared by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service caution that Saddam Hussein seems to be developing nuclear and biological weapons as well as the long-range missiles needed to target his enemies.

Senegal
The government has declared three offical days of mourning after a ferry carrying up to 800 people went down in a violent storm earlier today. Most travel is by water in that region because of heavy fighting in the southern part of the country. Troops have been brought in to deal with the grieving mob assembled in Dakar.

Washington Protest
About 500 anti global demonstrators have been arrested in Washington in the first of what appears to be a messy three days of protests. I’m not a big World Bank fan, I hated seeing the concrete fence in Quebec City. But, hello here idiots. The Pentegon was attacked a little over a year ago. This isn’t Miller time, this isn’t a rave or a fun little street party. You are hanging out with some serious anarchist types. Mom and dad’s credit cards aren’t going to buy your way out of this one.

I’ve seen my share of hyper cops and reasonable protests. But every single one of you that lands behind bars in this little fiasco, won’t be getting any sympathy from me. I doubt you’ll be getting it from the residents of Washington. You guys have the credibility of a three dollar bill. Grow up, go buy your own back yard and trash it.

Arcata Eye
To lighten things up, another edition of the World’s Wackiest Police Log. One of this weeks entries…..

10:35 p.m. Six representatives of the more feral strain of early twenty-somethings were alleged to have ripped off a case of beer from a Giuntoli Lane gas station mini-mart. Clad in cut-off army pants, the “hippies” took off northbound on U.S. Highway 101, only to be located by police. “Wash Me,” invited the van’s ass end, but police settled for arrests of the beery beatniks within. After the grimy vehicle was matched with an equivalently cheesy ripoff scenario on September 9, the driver was arrested on charges of driving without a license while intoxicated. Police took Polaroids for a photo lineup back at the mini-mart, then three more of the brewsome brutes’ number were arrested on suspicion of probation violation, with yet one more arrested on a petty theft charge. The van was towed. The beer’s destiny is not documented.
