OnTorturing Innocent Canadians
Posted September 21, 2006 on 11:11 am | In the category Uncategorized, Politics | by JeffFrom U.S. Attorney General Gonzales: “Mr. Arar was deported under our immigration laws. He was initially detained because his name appeared on terrorist lists; he was deported according to our laws.” This disgraceful non-excuse defines what this administration has been up to with its pressing the Congress for legislation opening the door for increased torture of maybe guilty and maybe innocent people. It really does not matter to them.
Canada’s Prime minister, Stephen Harper, has taken a lesson from G.W. Bush by blaming the event on his predecessor Paul Martin. Martin’s efforts to get Mr. Arar released were blocked by Harper’s party in Parliament.

The German government has an even more complex problem with the case of a German citizen of Arab descent, Khaled el-Masri, who was kidnapped by US agents in Skopje Macedoniea in May, 2004 and flown to Kabul. He too has been released recently, but not before Spanish police found and handed over to German police the names of the 13 US agents who were involved. Now the German government is left with the touchy problem of what to do with those names.

I believe that Angela Merkel has been promised a backrub by President Bush (aka Skippy) if she does not release the names.
