From the article linked above, "Given what we've learned through the Inquiry, however, it is clear that we cannot fully understand the Canadian role in Mr. Arar's case without understanding the Canadian role in the cases of Mr. El Maati, Mr. Almalki and Mr. Nureddin," he said.

Complicity by Canada is undeniable. That is why Arar was given an apology and awarded compensation (not that anything will compensate for the effect this has had on his life). As to the others, they have been released but I do not know if they have sought legal representation or if they have, where they might be in the process.

It seems, however, that the U.S. feels no need to apologize or remove Arar from their 'watch' list. He will probably use the Canadian compensation money to sue the U.S. He wants justice and he wants to make sure that other Canadians are not subjected to torture. We need more citizens like Arar in Canada.

Crazyhorse - The fact that Arar was tortured in Syria does not excuse the U.S. for sending him there. I have nothing to say about Syria or why they engage in torture. Why don't you question the U.S. policy of outsourcing torture?
