Canada Free Press and Douglas Hagmann

Ok, I have done some checking on my own and it appears that Canada Free Press is another ideological "rag". Doug Hagmann, the author of the cited article, is a self-proclaimed security counter-terrorism expert (Hmmm, seems I've heard that claim somewhere else) and radio talk-show host. Using an "anonymous" intelligence insider to promote the premise of the article as if it were a legitimate "interview" also does not "smell right" to me. Hagmann's credibility as a serious investigative journalist is questionable in my mind. I give Geraldo greater credibility than this guy.

Bottom line: I would take this story with a large dose of skepticism.

That doesn't mean that the premise is not correct, however. And as Richard would say "and so it goes".
