I had to steal that headline from the middle of Ace of Spades post titled Liberal Blogs Silent On Massive Terrorism Bust. He has been checking the left side of the blogosphere for reaction to the massive terrorist bust in Canada but has been coming up empty handed.
The Daily Kos mentions it as a single item in an open thread about three other news stories, the other three fairly trivial.
Nada at former Democratic strategist (or something) Peter Daou’s “The Grit” blog. He does have time to mention Haditha, of course.
Nothing at Atrios, despite a higher post-to-open-thread ratio today.
I have one to add to your list Ace Barbara O’Brien who is filling in for Glenn Greenwald at Unclaimed Territory says:
I regret to say this, because I know Mr. Goldstein is looking to us lefties for direction and guidance on this matter. But so far I haven’t learned enough from news stories about the circumstances of the investigation and arrests to know if any civil liberties issues were involved.
Have you learned enough to know there was a bust in Canada Barbara? any idea about the 3 tons of ammonium nitrate (one ton of the same stuff was used to blow up the Oklahoma City Federal Building), anyone mention to you that this group may have ties to 6 other countries?
Did you happen to see this story, or this one or this one or maybe this one how about this one? How about you go and read those to start (which happen to be the first 5 topics on Memeorandum right now) and come back with some kind of opinion?
Are civil liberties the only issue on your radar screen? how about terrorists trying to blow up a few thousand people? is that important to you at all?
