Mr. Arar is an innocent citizen of Canada. His military obligation to Syria has nothing to do with why he was deported to Syria nor does it have anything to do with why he was tortured.

The U.S. did not mislead Canada. As far as I know, it was the RCMP who misled the U.S. therefore the apology and the compensation from Canada. As to the others, I can only quote the article you 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.

I'm not mean-spirited, I'm just waiting for the U.S. to admit that they are complicit in the torture of innocent Canadian citizens. You seem to think that its justified because it was done in Syria. Were Mr. El Maati, Mr. Almalki and Mr. Nureddin sent to Syria because they had not fulfilled their military obligation to Syria? I think not.

Do you or do you not approve of torturing innocent Canadian citizens.
