So---would you guys guess that if it were being done on purpose that it is being by someone who SUPPORTS the Iraq war or someone who DOES NOT SUPPORT the Iraq war??? Do you feel that it might be someone who SUPPORTS the war on terrorism or someone who DOES NOT SUPPORT the war on terrorism?
And how do you feel that would break down over political lines?

How many troops have been killed as a result of BBC getting the documents and then turning them back over to the police?

Ì know we aren`t really part of the British EMpire anymore but as long as we`re talking about embarrasing security breaches within the Kingdom Maxime Bernier, The Canadian foreign affaires minister, managed to forget documents meant for a NATO security meating at his girlfriends house. Wanna know the best part? His girlfriends ex boyfriends happened to by involved in the Montréal mofia and the Hell`s Angels!

Yea, I heard of that. Bernier is a Conservative though, who supports the war on terrorism, I doubt he misplaced classified documents for a malicious reason, probably just an accident.

Anyways, he paid the price, he resigned. Hes basically done being a Minister in the Canadian government for a long time.

Ya, but it still makes us look like the inept inbred cousin of the United States to the rest of NATO.
