Infanteer,
Your ‘subtle‘ message was a very childish act. I would expect better from someone like you. Maybe you should think about how that makes you look. Maybe next time you could do something a little more mature as moderator and send me a private message and state your request to have it changed.
If people have problems with aviatars like the one I chose, then perhaps you should make some rules regarding aviatars. I chose the aviator from the list of ones availble in the default profiles, and I specifically did not pick one that was a rank or trade sign.
In fact, I am really suprised that people cannot seem to figure out that a picture of a soldier with the word ‘civilian‘ under it means that i am actually a civilian...but since some people are a little slow, I am more than happy to change it.
Also, I am well aware of the sacrifices and contributions people on this forum have made and I do respect that. It is not a matter of me liking or disliking their opinions, however when the discussion degrades to childish name calling on their part then that is not really much of an opinion, is it?

For crying out loud ... can‘t I go out for supper ONCE in my freaking lifetime, and NOT have everything go to poop in my absence ... ??!!??!!
Okay - I‘m wearing my black and white striped referee sweater now (but can‘t use my whistle - it‘s after "lights out")
Takedown is awarded to Pieman for his point about abuse of power - please select another/new avatar (although I have to admit I, personally, was confused by a civilian using a picture of a soldier ... but, I digress ...)
Point awarded to Pointy End (but hopefully not pointy head) for his post about RCMP and ERT - however ... SERT wasn‘t sustainable, plus they wanted to pay Mounties overtime for being on standby ... thus, they cooked the goose that laid the golden egg, and the Canadian Army assumed responsibility for anti-terrorism ops in 1992 (and by the way, some people suggest the name JTF2 came about as a result of their predecessors being considered the first Joint Task Force ... but, again ... I digress ...)
Point to Ghost778 for showing more flesh in his/her avatar than I‘ve seen in ages (except for the shower tent ... brrr ... must ... use ... more ... cold ... water ...)
Point to Bruce for "Tartboy" moniker - LMAO!!
Yellow card to Infanteer for messing in Current Affairs when I wasn‘t looking ...
And, TWO points for Girl On Fire (chuckle) - for starting this thread, and for updating it with the RCMP news release, and ... oh, what the heck ... a THIRD point for having an better avatar than EVERYBODY!
All right - everybody back into their corners, and let‘s get this thread back on track ...
Ready?
Steady?

Has anyone managed to get through to Pieman and convince him that the University of Calgary doesn‘t dictate national law enforcement policy yet?

Father of arrested Ottawa man detained in Saudi Arabia: family member
at 15:43 on March 31, 2004, EST.
OTTAWA (CP) - The father of a man arrested on terror charges in Ottawa has been detained in Saudi Arabia, says a family member.
Mahboob Khawaja, 62, was recently taken into custody by Saudi authorities, his son Qasim Khawaja said Wednesday. "We don‘t know exactly what for, but he‘s being questioned over there," he said on the front lawn of the family home in Ottawa‘s east end. "This comes as a second shock to the family."
Mohammad Momin Khawaja, 24, Qasim‘s brother, was charged Tuesday by the RCMP with terrorist offences related to activities in Ottawa and London.
Mahboob Khawaja, an international affairs specialist, was a teacher and administrator at a college in Yanbu, Saudi Arabia.
There was no immediate official confirmation of the detention, or any detail from authorities.
Earlier in the day, a Foreign Affairs spokeswoman had no information about the father but was looking into the matter.
Mohammad Momin Khawaja was charged Tuesday with two terrorism-related offences after police raids at his home and office.
He was arrested Monday at his workplace and charged with participating in or contributing to the activities of a terrorist group and facilitating terrorist activity. The charges fall under Canada‘s anti-terrorism law.
The Canadian-born Khawaja, a software developer, worked on contract for Foreign Affairs but not on any sensitive or secure projects, an official said.
Qasim Khawaja said there was no evidence of terrorist activities in the home for police to find.
It‘s the first time that someone has been charged under Canada‘s Anti-Terrorism Act.
Mohammad Momin Khawaja appeared in court Tuesday and was remanded until a video appearance Friday. A publication ban was placed on the proceedings.
Momin Khawaja‘s lawyer phoned the family and told them he is in an Ottawa jail, Qasim said.
"He said he‘s in good condition right now. They put him in confinement or something. He‘s not allowed to see other people."
The charges state that between Nov. 10, 2003, and Monday, Khawaja was involved in terrorist-related activity in Ottawa and "at or near the City of London, England," the RCMP said in the release.
RCMP officers raided the family home in suburban Orleans on Monday, bashing in the door and searching the premises.
Qasim Khawaja was in the home when RCMP officers arrived.
"I was just watching TV and the door just blew open and guys with guns and masks just told us to get down," he said.
"Me and my sister were at home and they tie-wrapped us up."
Mahboob Khawaja is the author of Muslims and the West, a book about Islamic fundamentalism that analyses global conflicts within the framework of Muslim civilization.
He has also written several other essays critical of American foreign policy, "corrupt Arab leadership," "American-Zionist political encroachment in the Middle East," and the West‘s response to terrorism and the war on terror.
He earned his post-graduate degrees at Syracuse University, in New York State.
