Siberia West?

A piece at The American Spectator's site looks at the Maher Arar case and civil liberties in the great white north; a sequel's slated for tomorrow.

Torture-By-Proxy...hm, is that another phrase for "multilateralism" and treating the struggle against terror as a "law-enforcement" matter.

I don't believe that our efforts against terror outside the US can (in any policy paradigm) be perfectly clean...but it should be noticed that those who vaunt the "co-operation" of regimes like Egypt, Syria and Jordan (as opposed to intervention and regime change) are signing on for a lot of this...without freeing anyone.

Lots of broken eggs-- no omelet.

Looking for an ambassadorial appointment in the second term, Andrew?

Typically Liberal, our government has ordered an inquiry into the Arar case, thus removing it as a topic for debate in the expected spring election. Every pol will just state how inappropriate it would be to discuss an ongoing inquiry. I hope this makes people in this country realize how much we are truly at the mercy of our government up here. They are not our friends, people.
