Sorry if this is a dupe, but it merits a second look. It's from CCR

NO MORE SECRETS

Dear Friend of CCR,

Innocent CCR client Maher Arar was changing planes at JFK on his way home to Canada from a family vacation when he was detained by the U.S. and 'rendered' to Syria, where he was tortured and held for nearly a year. A Canadian Commission of Inquiry formed to investigate Maher's case released its findings this week: the Commissioner said, "I am able to say categorically that there is no evidence to indicate that Mr. Arar has committed any offence..." Tell your representatives that the Administration's practice of extraordinary rendition is unlawful, and demand that the U.S. government release all documents related to Maher and clear his name.

We've produced a short video dramatizing Maher's experience you can watch on YouTube. Please give it a look and rate it highly so that more people will see it-if it gets on the front page of their site, half a million people will learn about the abuses our government is perpetrating in our name. Then tell 10 of your friends to watch it too. 'Extraordinary rendition,' like so many of the Bush administration's practices, depends on secrecy. By sharing this video with as many people as possible, you can help us end the secrecy that enabled Maher's torture and detention. Watch it here:

Maher's story shows just how our government's practices in the so-called 'war on terror' can horrific results. Yet Congress is trying to strip all detainees of the right to challenge their detention and be heard in a court of law. On Wednesday, Representative Edward J. Markey (D-MA) introduced five "resolutions of inquiry" aimed at forcing the release of U.S. government documents related to Maher Arar.
