Kizmet and her pals at it again

[Dennis Ruhl]

 The Canadian Security Intelligence Service employed someone named Grant Briscow to help found and be part of the leadership of a white supremacist group, the Heritage Front.

That would be Bristow not Briscow.  The idea that a CSIS agent would help found a group that he could then spy on seems a bit bizarre.

I look upon the successful counter-revolutions in Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Guatamala as classic examples of how to deal with terrorists.  The unwillingness of NATO to employ such tactics in Afghanistan is the reason it is bound to lose.  The unwillingness of the Shah of Iran to employ mass brutality led to his overthrow.

Killing all your suspected enemies is not all that palatable to people living in liberal democracies but it is often the difference between winning and losing and winning is better.
