Gordon O'Conner just made my "stupid people" list. Not that he was far from it to start.
What, the they suck the common sense form this man's body when he was elected to Parliment? I can not believe he was a Genral in our military.

Keep JTF2 'killers' on military base: Tory: Highly secretive unit trained to be 'anti-social:' ex-general O'Connor
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Soldiers in Canada's special forces unit, JTF2, should move from their current Dwyer Hill location to a military base because they are highly trained in "anti-social" behaviours and need to be kept strictly disciplined, says Conservative defence critic Gordon O'Connor.
"They're very highly trained people who are trained in anti-social skills, I would call it -- they're trained to kill people in various ways," Mr. O'Connor, a former army general, told the Citizen's editorial board yesterday. "I would prefer them to be under iron-tight discipline inside a military base."
The top-secret Joint Task Force 2 is currently located at the corner of XXXXXXXXand XXXXXX roads, about XXXXXXXX of Ottawa's downtown core, in Mr. O'Connor's riding of Carleton-Mississippi Mills.
Relations between the top-secret unit and its neighbours have been less than harmonious in recent years. Neighbours have complained about low-flying military helicopters, gunfire and explosions and accused JTF2 officials of harassing them in an effort to force them to sell their land.
One landowner is suing the Defence Department for digging a trench across his property, an act defence officials have admitted. (The unit offered to purchase the land, but declined a counter-offer to buy him a similar-sized lot in the area.)
With the unit in the midst of an expansion from 300 to 600 soldiers, defence officials are contemplating moving it somewhere else in the region or expanding the current location. Mr. O'Connor has previously suggested moving the installation to the former airbase in Rockcliffe Park or to Petawawa.
"I want organizations like that in military bases," Mr. O'Connor said.
"(With) a force like that, you have to maintain very tight discipline."
The two challengers in Carleton-Mississippi Mills yesterday said the unit should stay where it is.
"I would be very proud to represent men and women of that calibre in the riding," Liberal hopeful Isabel Metcalfe said.
"It's got to go somewhere, so it might as well stay where it is," NDP candidate Tasha Bridgen echoed.
No need to let the whole world know where they work
