The pre-trial of the “G20 geek” accused of planning an attack on the G20 summit with home-cooked bombs continues. The Toronto Star reports that footage of Byron Sonne’s police interview was submitted yesterday as evidence. In a lengthy interview with Toronto detective Tam Bui, Sonne fields questions about his interest in the international summit and his now-infamous Flickr photos. Sonne says that although he possessed the necessary ingredients for making a bomb, he never broke the law (plus, he didn’t have a detonator).

” I’ve seen the horror, horrors that you’ve seen. But you have no right to call me a murderer. You have a right to kill me. You have a right to do that, but you have no right to judge me.It’s impossible for words to describe what is necessary to those who do not know what horror means. Horror. Horror has a face, and you must make a friend of horror. Horror and moral terror are your friends. If they are not, then they are enemies to be feared. They are truly enemies.” – Col. Walter E. Kurtz

See it is so simple.
