1. We won't be seeing much of him.

He'll be at Gitmo in 6 months.

I say we let Mr. Ashcroft try out that grave-sized cell they kept our guy in for a year.

Canadian citizen, Maher Arar, who was detained by U.S. officials last year during a stopover in a New York airport, said he was repeatedly tortured after the U.S. secretly deported him to Syria where he spent 374 days in a Damascus prison without charges.
In Syria, Arar said he was repeatedly beaten and tortured, kept in a cell three feet wide and forced to sign false confessions. During a press conference on Tuesday he said, "I was willing to confess to anything to stop the torture." He added, "I am not a terrorist. I am not a member of al Qaeda. I have never been to Afghanistan."

4. Arar

Today the RCMP raided the offices of the Ottawa Citizen and the home of a reporter who broke the story of CSIS having been informed of Mr Arar's arrest by US authorities. They wish to find who leaked this infor from CSIS to the reporter/

5. What?

Why?

More specifically, who (as in who has directed such action)?

What icing was taken from the CSIS cake?

At any rate, power to both Arar and the lovely widow who has served the imperialists with her RICO suit!!!
