Amos, thanks for the link to Bill Moyers' Media Reform speech. It's so nice these days to hear or read an eloquent and articulate voice of sanity.

Maybe I missed it, but I saw nothing at all in the U. S. media about the Arar case. Had I not been aimlessly channel-surfing one evening a couple weeks ago, or possibly for some mentions of it here on Mudcat, I would probably not be aware of it even now. In my channel-surfing, I encountered the CBC channel as Maher Arar himself began reading his statement before the cameras. For those unacquainted with the case, HERE is a transcript of the statement that I heard Arar making.

And for those who twit us with sneering remarks like "The sky is falling," Arar's ordeal is a good-sized piece of that sky hitting the ground with a very loud thump!
