Public life The popular press has chosen to quote Leuprecht's opinions on Politics, in general, and terrorism and counterterrorism, specifically. On January 13, 2016, CBC News quoted comments Leuprecht, of Canada's Royal Military College and Queen’s University. He suggested the Taliban had released Rutherford as a sign of good faith, in order to win a place at the peace talk table. He pointed out the brutal way Daesh executes prisoners, and asserted the Taliban wanted to remind those negotiating peace that they weren't brutal in the same way they were. “[The release of Rutherford] is a tacit way for the Afghan Taliban to signal that 'We’re not just the bad guys anymore. We might have taken him hostage, but we didn’t execute him, we didn’t mistreat him.’ It's a way of signalling to the world community that, look, 'Maybe you should be talking to us.’” On January 6, 2016, CTV News quoted Leuprecht about the accidental leak of one thousand classified documents. Leuprecht urged a restrained reaction, asserting secret documents often didn't merit classification. On November 14, 2015, the Calgary Herald quoted Leuprecht's opinion on how Canadians would react to a recent massacre of innocent civilians by radical Islamist radicals, in Paris, France. Leurecht predicted it would make Canadians "rethink our schedule" on admitting refugees. He urged consideration of slowing the rate of admission of refugees, and consideration of detaining all refugees, once they arrived in Canada, to allow a further security checks.
