Pacifist Paramilitaries

From this:

"Kent trained overseas at a para-military camp (and) trained in weapons, explosives and topography (the) training lasted about two months,'' Mr O'Sullivan said.

Mr O' Sullivan said the evidence was a fact.

"Obviously it has a resonance...there is no logical inference in connection between undertaking some form of military training (and) terrorist organisation,'' Mr O'Sullivan said.

to which I would reply "Are you !@#ing kidding?". I think Mr O'Sullivan, that there is more than just a whisper of "resonance" and there is indeed an iron-clad "logical inference" by undertaking, some form of 'freelance' military training in some random, as yet unnamed country, and an intent to be a participant in a terrorist organization.

A question I would put to Mr O'Sullivan would be: which country? Would this be one of the many countries DFAT reconmmend Australian citizens avoid? Would our actual military members be able to travel freely to said country? I think we all know the answers to those questions...

"Only a fundamentalist pacifist would suggest all those people are on the road to terrorism.''

A fundamentalist pacifist?? Don't you mean a fundamental pacifist? Ah no, of course you don't, you would like to confuse the jury with the term fundamentalist, because it's not just evil, civilisation fearing, misogynistic and barbaric animals who commit (or in this case, want to commit) mass slaughter of innocent civilians who are known as fundamentalists, it's also those who refuse to lift a finger even to defend themselves. Those damned fundamentalists pacifists!!!! Always stuffing shit up for the innocent terrorists.

"This training took place in 2001 (and) there's no evidence at all he was ever heard to say a single word about that training to anyone."

Well then, let's completely forget all about it. Nothing to see here, move along. Good ol' anglo sounding Shane Kent can turn a propane tank, some paper clips and old recycled copies of The Age into a device that could kill and maim hundreds of people in one go, thanks to his training, but he doesn't talk about it to anyone, so well, that's makes him just an innocent John Q Citizen, like you or me.

By the way, do you think Shane is known as "Shane" to his comrades in arms?
