OTTAWA - A senior foreign affairs official has told the Maher Arar inquiry he was troubled by the way the United States handled the Ottawa engineer's deportation case, though he defended Canada's role in the affair.

Dan Livermore, the director general of the department's security and intelligence bureau, said the Syrian-born man was deported to Syria while returning to Canada through the U.S. in 2002 because of a controversial American process called extraordinary rendition.

That's a secret system that was allegedly set up to send terrorist suspects to another country for questioning in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks against the United States.

I am shocked! Shocked, I tell you.

1. Not shocked at all ,but,

outraged that the US could take such action against a Canadian citizen. This should really frighten foreign-born citizens of Canada or the US. Citizen rights are out the window. No justice.

2. That the US could do that to ANYBODY is disgusting . . .

trying to justify it with some Homeland Security doo-doo is just insane

The US has become this century's Germany of Hitler's in the last century

fool the people into supporting illegal invasions and genocide . . .

OH YEAH

Gran-pappy Bush(Prescott, link below) was financing the Nazis looong after WW2

The nut don't fall far from the tree . ..
