OTTAWA–Three Canadian Muslims claimed vindication, if not victory, after a long-awaited inquiry report partly blamed Canadian officials for their detention and torture in the Middle East.

"It clears our names," said Abdullah Almalki, an engineer detained by Syria in 2002 for nearly two years. "It clearly vindicates us."

(Former Supreme Court judge Frank) Iacobucci blamed RCMP and CSIS agents who tagged the men with such "inflammatory" labels as Islamic extremist or "imminent threat" and shared that information with foreign agencies, sometimes without the proper cautions about its unreliability or prohibitions against distribution to other countries.

The report also slams foreign affairs officials for failing to provide quick and effective consular services to the detainees, and in one case failing to flag an allegation of torture when it surfaced to Canada's foreign affairs minister.

2. The report says the U.S. (Bush) declined giving the investigators information.

That seems so predictable by now, doesn't it?

Sooner or later this story is going to be completely out, and illuminated, as will all of them, in time. The whole world is eventually going to know how much evil was perpetrated just because the _Bush people could do it, and no one could stop them.

That'll look great in dipshit's "Libary." What a legacy.
