Perhaps Arar knows something...

This article raises some questions about all the apologies to Maher Arar:

globeandmail.com: Documents tie Khadr to tortured pair

Abdullah Khadr, whose father was a ranking member of Al-Qaeda and friend of Osama bin Ladin, acquired radio equipment from Abdulla Almalki. Almalki went to Syria and was detained and supposedly tortured by the Syrian authorities. Almalki's acquaintence Maher Arar was also investigated and subsequently detained by the United States and deported to Syria for questioning.

Abdullah Khadr apparently learned of Almalki's shop from his father... which means that a ranking member of Al-Qaeda knew of this source of equipment. Is it possible that Al-Qaeda had shopped there before? If so, perhaps Almalki is supporting terrorism. And is Arar just a third party who knew none of this? I wonder....

Don't forget that security certificate case Mohamed Harkat once caught a ride to Toronto with Papa Khadr as well, later claiming he didn't know who he was.

Damn, your right - if you see someone talking to someone who may be an evildoer, they too must be evildoers, and of course subject to the rough justice of Syrian jailers.

No chance he's innocent eh? What's in a name?

And of course Justice O'Connor missed these obvious links that the brilliantly perceptive TchnicalBard just noticed. I suppose when you call yourself "Bard", being delusional just comes naturally.

I may have a few problems with the Justice system, but what does that have to do with the Arar case?

This isn't a court; the rules of evidence are different (basically non-existence) no requirement for the head of the commisssion to act judically, etc.

I also have no faith in O'Connor, a Liberal hack/appointee who in his last 15 minutes of fame couldn't figure out that it was two drunken brothers who falsified records that cause the Walkerton ecoli episode.

For that matter when has any Crown inquiry ever done anything useful. I am still waiting for people to start going to jail over what came out in the Gomery inquiry (the jokers doing time weren't hung on what came out in the inquiry).

I hope you understand that your stated distrust with Crown inquiries (and the justice system altogether) is quite RADICAL.

Have a little RESPECT for Canada's courts and judicial system...

respect for Canada's courts and judicial system? you are either being sarcastic or you are zonked out on something; I hope the former. The justice system from provincial offences right up the extreme court of Canada is full of bleeding hearts and socialist appologists.

The Arar "I'm an innocent victim act" appears to be pure BS. There are way to many unexplained incidents with this guy.
