I don't think anyone is giving Syria a pass on this. But how can we start telling other countries how to treat their own people if we condemn our own to torture?

We never condemned our own in this case. It was the US who sent him back to Syria, on misinformation from our RCMP. However they did it on some special rendition clause which allowed them to do so without Arar having recourse to any deportation hearing which should be standard. And the US did so without consultation from Canada.
