The tragic case of Maher Arar, Canadian citizen, who was seized at Kennedy Airport returning from a Tunisian vacation. After his seizure (arrest would imply he was charged with something which he never was) he was flown to Jordan and then driven to Syria where he was tortured on our behalf. The problem is the Syrians decided he had nothing to do with terrorism. Right now a man who the US government decided was so dangerous that he should be seized and tortured without charges or trial is walking free in Canada.
The biggest joke? The government is seeking to quash a lawsuit by Arar because adjudicating his claims "would involve the revelation of state secrets".
Fuck you Bush administration. Fuck you and die. All of you. You are destroying this country. Congratulations Republican morons that voted for Bush. You're complicit in the destruction of your country. Our beautiful experiment is failing, and it's your fault. The rule of law applies to everyone or it means nothing.
