When the US deported Maher Arar to Syria knowing that he would be tortured and his human rights would be violated, everyone on this site was shocked and abhorred that the American government would do such a thing, right?
But now that the Canadian government won't turn over a man to the US unless we receive assurances that he won't be executed if found guilty of the crime of which he is accused, all of a sudden people want us to adopt policies exactly like the ones that led to the Arar scandal?
