Canadian Was Falsely Accused, Panel Says
Muslim Held by U.S. Was Sent to Syria For Interrogation

TORONTO, Sept. 18 -- Canadian intelligence officials passed false warnings and bad information to American agents about a Muslim Canadian citizen, after which U.S. authorities secretly whisked him to Syria, where he was tortured, a judicial report found Monday.

Arar was also listed as "an Islamic extremist individual" who was in the Washington area on Sept. 11. The report concluded that he had no involvement in Islamic extremism and was on business in San Diego that day, said the head of the inquiry commission, Ontario Justice Dennis O'Connor.

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.


ACTUALLY-- I hope it isn't made into a movie. Let this poor man restore his life.

But, dear God, let the story be shouted from the rooftops and those who are culpable be made to pay. I wonder how many more of these stories we will see over the coming months?

1. It was all Clinton's fault...if he had only followed a different "Path to

9/11", then this poor man wouldn't have been tortured, (I mean we don't torture) been beaten (we shouldn't discuss technique), or kept in a secret prison (which don't exist), if Clinton hadn't forced our current, humble, understanding basic human dignities president into this position. {SARCASM}

3. The rabid right wingers are a bit looney in their hatred of Bill

But all they got is the frat brat, Nam dodger, who only likes sports and Saudi princes with multiple wives.

Take your choice.

5. A different path indeed...

Like maybe the one where the republic held congress passed the anti-terror surveilence laws Big Dog asked for?

2. Again, under W we tortured for no reason

Yeah, maybe ABC will take it up. But I won't watch it.

They apparently are bushbots and will probably defend the torture.
