EXCERPT:
GRENIER: "As in any insurgency situation, you have committed insurgents who are typically a relatively small proportion of the affected population. But what enables them to carry forward their program is a large number of people from whom they can draw tacit support... I think what is most important is that we drive a wedge between those violent individuals and the people who may otherwise see them as reflecting their interests and fighting on their behalf," he said. "I think that there's a level of distrust that is no longer - not only unfortunate for the politics in this country but will also provide a basis for sporadic but endemic violence in this country. And that's what I'm concerned about."
