We have no information that they are Canadians, either.
(Actually, MSNBC stated that they were using false passports, which suggests that they weren't, but I'd hold off on jumping to conclusions until all the details have come in and been verified.)

By that logic, the WTC was attacked by American terrorists.

If you're talking about the 5 men who entered the US on Christmas eve and who are being sought by the FBI, then not only are they known to be of Arabic ancestry, but the FBI even has their pictures. Try looking them up on the Yahoo! news service.

Or looking at the article linked to in the first post.

Why does everyone simply assume that people of Arab ancestry that come from Canada are not Canadians? We know that is not true. There are large number of Arabs who are Canadians.

You're the one assuming that they're Canadians. I've,a s yet, not jumped to either conclusion.

How many of them use false passports?

Now you are raising fine points. Are illegal aliens in the US "Americans." Technically no. But actually yes.

I would say these kind folk who crossed the border are not Canadians if they only entered Canada recently and exhibited no intention of staying there permanently.

Regardless, the Canadians appear to be up to no good - as are most Canadians in the US.

Obviously, we need to invade and set up a puppet government. Perhaps we'll call it "Amerida" or "Canaca" or something...

Most of the terrorists stay at least a few days at my place. Like any good Canadian, I'm obliged to harbour as many terrorists as possible. There's actually another four here right now - they're watching The Hunt for Red October in my living room.
