Arar, now 36, was detained by U.S. authorities as he changed planes in New York on Sept. 26, 2002. He was held for questioning for 12 days, then flown by jet to Jordan and driven to Syria. He was beaten, forced to confess to having trained in Afghanistan – where he never has been – and then kept in a coffin-size dungeon for 10 months before he was released, the Canadian inquiry commission found.
How many of such innocents are still incarcerated with no one to pursue their case? Is this why Bush wants such methods to be legal so that the no one can challenge the confessions extracted by these means?
Canadian intelligence officials passed false warnings and bad information to American agents about a Muslim Canadian citizen....
Not in this case, it was the americans, though with right wing facist in power Canada, they are slowly catching up...
The americans as usual being bigots that they are, did not approve of a muslim passing through their country, so what did they do, they deported him to his home country, not the country whose passport he was carrying and travelling on, but the country where he was born, Syria....
^It means, it takes at least three years to prove your innocence but it takes a minute to accuse Islam and muslims of terrorism in the western media. It did happen three years ago, but the Canadian inquiry commission report came out two days ago.
