I was walking along, minding my
business, when out of an orange-colored sky ...
Media the world over are buzzing about
the secret blueprints happened
upon by "a passerby" in an Ottawa trash heap.
This CTV article reveals the current non-progress in the case: Trashed
blueprints give 'key' to anti-terror unit
Both the media and Anthony Salloum are trying a little too hard to get
something going on this.
As I
said yesterday,
it's highly possible those plans were discarded both conceptually and
literally. This is backed up in the following quote from the CTV
article:
A
military analyst says he's been
told the matter is not being considered a security breach because the
plans were part of a rejected draft for a new building, which will be
the home of the Canadian Joint Incident Response Unit at CFB Trenton.
"After
(the engineering firm) didn't get it, I assume they just threw the
plans in the garbage,'' said Alain Pellerin of the Conference of
Defence Associations.
It's all
coming across as a would-be tempest in a tiny teapot. As much as
I would enjoy seeing the secrecy freaks sweat, I prefer the truth, and this whole thing smacks of
collusion to make the military and the Conservatives look bad (worse)
and the Rideau Institute look good (to no avail). The Liberals
and NDP were certainly quick to haul out the standard rhetoric of
righteous shock and dismay, but the Rideau Institute is looking mighty
suspicious.
Regardless of whether or not this constitutes a breach of security,
it's hard to swallow that Salloum, of all people, just accidentally
happened upon such a delicious media op.
I
mean, you can probably fool
Stockwell Day and confuse the military administration all to heck, but
the rest of us weren't born in 2001.
From the comments
section at USA today:
Does
this military analyst always
rummage through garbage bags he finds on the street? And why would he
leave sensitive documents behind?
This
sounds like a staged event devised to get somebody canned.
The first
person to be canned should be the military analyst that "claims" to
have found the documents and left some on the street. But not before a
thorough judicial investigation and some well deserved prison time
awarded.
...
Flash! Bam! Alakazam! Wonderful you came by.*
An added dimension is the
"expert" who's joined in the finger pointing - Michel
Juneau-Katsuya.
He too could be looking to boost himself, since he runs a private,
fee-charging, profit making (he hopes) security firm.
The Contact
page of his website offers some insight into his credibility.
See
the address? See the photo of a very impressive office building
with his company name superimposed on it? Wow, eh?
But not so much. A WHOIS
lookup says he occupies only Suite 100 in that building.
Odd that he
would leave the suite number off his mailing address. Well, not
so odd, of course, if he's trying to create a misleading impression.
Want to see what he left off the building itself? The name Kinaxis
- a firm that specializes in high tech supply chain business
management. Nor does Juneau-Katsuya's name appear on the Kinaxis Management
Team. He just rents space in their building.
Now, if
Mr.
J-K would seek to mislead as to the size of his company, one has to
consider that he might try to pull little fast ones in other ways as
well.
So
did he just happen along in the same manner that Salloum just happened
on the
blueprints, or do these guys know each other? And if so, what do
they
do when they get together, you know ... for entertainment and
enrichment?
