No, absolutely not. We're there to gather information. We don't have any executive authority. We don't arrest, detain, or imprison people. Our job is to collect information that the Canadian Forces, ISAF, and our other allies can use to save Canadian or allied lives. The only way we can do this is by communicating with people who know about potential plots to harm Canadian and allied lives. That's not doing any harm. To my mind, that's doing a great deal of good.
