Canada Says They Warned U.S., re: Lack of Evidence on Terror Suspect
If there is any question as to why the United States' standing in the international community has dwindled, this article should put that question to rest.
According to an article in the Washington Post, Canadian officials say they warned the United States that they had no evidence that Maher Arar was an Al Qaeda agent, before the United States sent Arar to Syria, where he was tortured.
Arar was a software engineer in Canada. He was born in Syria.
Initially, Canadian officals told the United States that he was a person of interest and that he MAY have ties Islamic extremists. They subsequently told the U.S. that there was no evidence that Arar was tied to terrorists. Despite that warning, Arar was deported to Syria, and tortured there.
In other words, the U.S. government rendered a human being to another country to be tortured, when they knew there was no evidence that the person was tied to any terrorists.
And these are supposed to be our American values?
