Too soon. "But these guys didn't actually do anything! Innocent until proven guilty! Canada does not treat people like the United States does!" blah blah blah

Canada's anti-terrorism laws are in their relative infancy. Any use of them from here on in will be carefully scrutinized and heavily criticized. There are arguments before the SCC about doing away with security certificates in general. The government is in an unenviable position.

Part of the problem is that the accuseds can talk as much as they want and make up all sorts of inflammatory accusations that will no doubt catch the eye of the media. The government, as we've seen before (right JofM?) won't/can't say anything to refute those claims and fails behind big time in the publication battle.
