OTTAWA, Canada (AP) -- Dozens of people from Canada have been turned back at the U.S. border or prevented from boarding U.S.-bound airplanes in recent months because of suspected links to terrorism, sensitive U.S. government documents show.

The incidents are detailed in a series of daily briefs published between September and this month by the Department of Homeland Security's operations center. They contain no classified information but are generally intended to remain secret.

The briefs reveal details of numerous individual cases and provide insight into the close co-operation between Canadian authorities and the U.S. security department.

Alex Swann, a spokesman for Anne McLellan, Canada's Minister of Public Security and Emergency Preparedness, declined to comment Thursday on the specific type of information shared between U.S. and Canadian security agencies.

But Department of Homeland Security spokesman Brian Roehrkasse confirmed that the memos posted this week on the Cryptome Web site, a New York-based resource dedicated to shedding light on the workings of the security world, were legitimate. Roehrkasse said they contained "sensitive information."

The publication -- at http://cryptome.org -- apparently resulted from an unsecured link on the U.S. Energy Department's Web site that has since been corrected.

The cases concerning Canada involved individuals on a U.S. "no-fly" list and others who showed up on the State Department's Tipoff watch list, which contains the names of more than 100,000 possible terrorists.

The memos feature a disclaimer noting the documents "may contain initial and preliminary reporting which may or may not be accurate."

Yowza!

100,000? LOL

I knew the Canadians are dangerous!!!!

Let's hope it was the "global tip off list"

Supporters of Rother-Bräu (Hausen/Rhön - Germany) claim global leadership for this unfiltrated beer of usually unknown class and addiction-factor and this since 1788.

Our band-rehearsals are canceled if there's no "Urtrunk"

*Warning* Only for experienced beer-drinkers!

Naturtrübes Bier (ungefiltert-hefetrüb) aus Hausen in der Rhön (4,7%): Handwerklich gebraut mit Ökogerstenmalz und ökologisch angebauten Hopfen und Hefe. Einfach köstlich dieses Urtrunk-Hefe. Wundervoll weich im Geschmack mit einem Touch Fruchtigkeit und Sommerfrische. Es riecht schon nach Besäufnis. Kräftig in seiner Natur braucht es sich seiner Herkunft nicht zu schämen und ist deswegen nicht gefiltert. Ab dem 7. Bier merkt man erst richtig, wie gut der Abgang ist und holt sich sofort ein Neues, um es dann mit kräftigen Schlücken in sich hinein zu stumpen. Sobald man dieses Bier ansetzt, recken sich die Geschmacksknospen gen Flaschenhals und rufen aufgeregt: "Ich zuerst! Ich zuerst!" Ein Bier mit ehrlichem Charakter, das man zu schätzen wissen sollte.

Prädikat: Urig, trübe, klasse.

Wertung: + + + + + -

I gotta admit.

German beer is pretty good.

No chemicals. Clean. Tasty. Gives a healthy buzz.

But Canadian beer is good, too.

Better than that dishwater GWB drinks.

Maybe that's why Dubya hates Canadians and Germans... - he's just jealous cause we have better beer.....!

ha...!

Well, Drooly...

If they bring some Aussie Foster's Lager along with the Moosehead, I say let those 100,000 in!

Any bearing "Cold DucK' should be sent directly to Gitmo (Guantanamo Bay) for life, though. I've had too many "Cold Duck flashbacks" due some illspent and unwise teen days. :::shudder:::
