Well, if the Globe and Mail is to be believed, the near arrival of some horrible terrorist attack is a shared destiny of the two.
Two stories in the Globe today suggest that something wicked this way comes and perhaps soon.
CSIS released a study that should set Canadians to wonder about the future. The study which was undertaken in October expresses surprise that “that terrorists have not detonated a crude radioactive bomb, given the availability of materials and ease with which they could be made into a weapon.”
And while they aren’t raising alarm bells just yet, “CSIS contends detonation of a crude bomb is “undoubtedly the most likely” terrorist scenario involving radioactive sources.”
On the other end of the anxiety measuring stick comes word from Pat Robertson that God has once again dropped by to share some troubling news. During his news-and-talk television show The 700 Club on the Christian Broadcasting Network, Robertson said that sometime late this year, terrorists will inflict mass killings in America.
Robertson has been rather busy of late in the predictions department but not particularly successful, having called for a tsunami to devastate the American coast in 2006, he eventually suggested that heavy rains in New England fulfilled that destiny, certainly a scaled down version of Apocalypse Now.
He trucks on undaunted though, suggesting that he has a pretty good track record, even if he misses from time to time to time.
Now I’m not sure about you, but me I’m hoping that CSIS has a better record than Pat! We have a lot more riding on their thoroughness, than we do on the prognosticating television host…
