Arar wants off

OTTAWA - Maher Arar called on Prime Minister Stephen Harper on Wednesday to take up his case personally with U.S. President George W. Bush.

Arar said he wants his name removed from the U.S. government's border watch list, after the report released Monday by Justice Dennis O'Connor cleared him of any terrorist ties.

''Mr. Harper could raise this directly with President Bush and just ask him to remove me from this list. It's that simple,'' Arar said in an interview with CanWest News Service.

...

Arar said Wednesday he would like the U.S. government to publicly declare he is not a terrorist, and he wants Harper to lodge a formal complaint with the United States government over their treatment of him.
