2544 The difference between the 2nd paragraph
and the 32nd is the Canadian border. I was listening to Glenn Beck rail against the NYT coverage of the Canadian bomb plot by Islamic terrorists. He couldn't find a word about Islamic anything until the reporter quoted a Canadian Muslim source who said he was relieved they'd been caught. I think it was around paragraph 32--or maybe 28, but it was way down. And then it was a quote. Then a caller to the show from Canada reported that in the Globe and Mail, hardly a conservative paper, it was actually mentioned in the second paragraph. So I looked and here's what I found--although it may not be the same article."The ammonium nitrate was delivered. The targets were set. After two years of a stealthily assembled counterterrorism web of surveillance, wiretaps and informants, police were ready to swoop down.
The operation was so complex and tightly shrouded that everyone involved — including all the roughly 400 police officers who scooped up the 17 suspected Islamic extremists Friday and Saturday — had to sign the Official Secrets Act, pledging total discretion."
I guess it all depends on whether Toronto or New York is being bombed. Did NYT get 9/11 and Islamic terrorists in the same story back in 2001?
