Five Things We Already Know About the Paris Attacks (and Ourselves)
Even in this early stage, we can draw conclusions.
By Crawford Kilian, Today, TheTyee.ca
snip
So the right response is not to take their bait. Hunt down the attackers, interrogate the survivors, and put serious pressure on any government that in any way aided the attacks.
Ferociously suppress anti-Muslim, anti-refugee agitation. Invite local Muslims to cooperate in identifying Islamic extremism's supporters -- they are ordinary Muslims' worst enemies, after all. Find the attackers' sources of funding, and choke them off.
Then remember that revenge is a dish best eaten cold.

COMMUNIQU? FOLLOWING THE MEETING OF THE COUNCIL OF MINISTERS AT THE ELYS?E PALACE
Paris - November 14, 2015
The French President convened the Council of Ministers on Saturday, November 14, at 3 p.m., following the attacks carried out in Paris during the evening of November 13.
He reiterated that a state of emergency had been declared during the night. The mobilization of police forces, the gendarmerie and service personnel continues, with an additional 3,000 servicemen to be deployed within three days.
Hospitals are fully mobilized to care for all victims of the attacks. The Foreign, Justice and Health Ministries’ victims’ support unit is scaling up its ability to receive families.
November 15, 16, and 17 were declared national days of mourning, and flags will continue to fly at half-staff through November 17. A moment of silence will take place on Monday, November 16, at noon.
Large-scale events scheduled for the coming days, such as the Congress of French Mayors, will be canceled.
Establishments administered by the Culture Ministry will remain closed this weekend along with shopping areas that attract large numbers of people. Athletic events are suspended today and tomorrow.
On Monday, all schools will reopen.
The French President will address a joint session of Parliament on Monday.
STATEMENT FOLLOWING THE ATTACKS IN PARIS
Paris - November 14, 2015
The security forces have once again been called to intervene under extremely difficult conditions, and the terrorists who took position, including in a place very near here, have been killed. I want to express our admiration for all those services – doctors, firefighters, civil protection – who dedicated themselves to helping throughout the night. Many people were wounded, seriously wounded; those wounded people are shocked, shocked by what they saw. So we wanted to be here, among all those who saw those terrible things, to tell them we’re going to fight this battle, and it will be merciless, because when terrorists are capable of carrying out such atrocities they must be certain that they will face a determined France, a united France, a France that comes together and a France that will not be cowed, even though today it is expressing unbounded shock at this tragedy, which is appalling because it is barbaric.
COMMUNIQU? FOLLOWING THE COUNCIL OF MINISTERS’ MEETING
Paris - November 14, 2015
The President of the Republic convened the Council of Ministers, which met on November 14 at 12 a.m. Following a report by the Prime Minister, the Minister of the Interior, and the Minister of Justice, a decree was adopted establishing a state of emergency. It is effective immediately throughout continental France and Corsica. It provides for prohibiting the movement of individuals and establishing protection and security zones.
A second decree was also adopted to implement strengthened measures in all municipalities of Ile-de-France. These provisions make it possible to place any individual engaged in dangerous activities under house arrest, to temporarily close entertainment venues and meeting places, to confiscate weapons, and to perform searches.
Furthermore, the President has decided to immediately reinstitute border controls.
The customs services have also been mobilized for this purpose.
All schools and universities will be closed on Saturday in Ile-de-France and school trips are canceled.
Hospitals have been mobilized. The Plan Blanc* has been activated.
The victims’ assistance unit of the Ministries of Foreign Affairs, Justice, and Health, working in conjunction with Police Headquarters, has been activated.
A defense council has been convened for Saturday at 9 a.m. An additional 1,500 troops have been mobilized.
The President will remain in Paris and will not attend the G20. He will be represented by the minister of foreign affairs and international development and by the minister of finance and public accounts.
*Plan Blanc: Emergency plan to deal with the sudden increase of activity in a hospital.
