Roy Green - Sat Jan 10 - Paris Terrorist Attacks

Terror attack in Paris. 20 dead, including three terrorists. We speak with the former Commanding Officer of Canada's famed JTF2 (Joint Task Force 2) special forces military unit about how to respond to the terror threat globally and putting the threat into context. Col Day says we're battling an ideology and the threat to Canada has always existed, but now has a sharper point. The PM talked about legislation to give our national security apparatus more powers. Is it necessary? And what is JTF2's role in fighting terrorism both outside and within Canada's borders? Unlike most special forces military units of other nations which operate outside their national boundaries, Canada's JTF2 does have a role to play in fighting terrorism inside our borders.
Guest: Colonel Steve Day. Fmr. JTF2 Commander.

Also, how does a senior U.S. military officer and former executive officer to General David Petraeus during the Surge in Iraq view the terror threat and has politics played a significant role in opened the door to terrorism?

Guest: Colonel Peter Mansoor. Author: Baghdad At Sunrise. What is the greatest threat the U.S. and other Western democratic nations face? A fascinating and troublesome answer.

And, yesterday as brothers Cherif and Said Kouachi were inside a printing warehouse north of Paris and Amedy Coulibaly and Hayat Boumeddiene were holding hostages, four of who were killed, in a Jewish supermarket, police and/or military hostage negotiators were in communication with the Kouachi's and Coulibaly and Boumeddiene. What was there to negotiate with individuals who had already committed murders and were quite prepared to die? What can be offered? No escape and no offer of eventual freedom from prison is available to the hostage negotiators. How does a hostage negotiation proceed under such circumstances?

Guest: Chris Voss. Fmr FBI chief hostage negotiator. Handled int'l cases like the DC Sniper, Steve Centani case in Gaza Strip and Steve Centani case in Iraq.

After this week in Paris, November in Canada and the terror attack in Sydney, Australia a few weeks ago, are you 'afraid', 'concerned', or 'not concerned' about future terror attacks in Canada?
