Oh, I figured you'd get the reference, because you pay attention to what's actually going on in the world. Google for 'canadian rendition' and check any of the first two pages of results. Or for "Maher Arar" with the quotes if you prefer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maher_Arar - which has a lot of links to the original source material, including this gem from our own Attorney General Gonzales: QUESTION: Canada, as you know, released a long-awaited report yesterday on the treatment of Maher Arar. Since the Department was the agency that allowed his removal to Syria in which he was then tortured, doesn't the Department owe him an apology? ATTORNEY GENERAL GONZALES: Well, we were not responsible for his removal to Syria, I'm not aware that he was tortured, and I haven't read the Commission report. Mr. Arar was deported under our immigration laws. He was initially detained because his name appeared on terrorist lists, and he was deported according to our laws. http://www.usdoj.gov/ag/speeches/2006/ag_speech_0609191.html Yeah. We put him on the plane, but we weren't responsible. Gotcha.
