The United States says the lack of funding for police and restrictive privacy legislation in Canada are frustrating probes of political extremists.

The comments in an annual report on international terrorism were the latest critical remarks from the U.S. apparently aimed at prodding Canada to bring its security measures in line.

The State Department report on global terrorism for 2002 suggests that while Canada has been helpful in the fight against terrorism, it doesn't spend enough on policing and places too much emphasis on civil liberties.

"Too much emphasis on civil liberties."

This is why I get seriously annoyed when I hear Bush talking about "free nations" and such. Obviously it's a trademarked term, like RetsynTM. You know, that stuff there's a golden drop of in every CertsTM.

You know what RetsynTM is, don't you?

Vegetable oil.
