Maher Arar speaks about his rendition and torture.

[adamtheking96]

wow... this is amazing, he is an amazing person 

[JohnnyHorton]

the future of America is frightening if this is the kind of things that are allowed to go on and people don't care. I don't understand how the people can accept this gross misuse of power. This is beyond belief except he's was found totally innocent by the Canadian government and given an apology and some restitution.

[TheUTubeRebel]

I hope you guys don't think this guy is a terrorist. He's just a normal guy who is trying to escape his authoritarian regime.

[sanfordhousing]

Thank you CCR for bringing this to our attention,I hope that the people of world will respect and support your work for justice and equality in the USA, and in our world The US Government is a puppet of the rich and powerful,it is corrupt and really is vile.There is no democracy in the USA .American's had this problem with the British colonialists and we know the outcome of that struggle.This is the same fight " good and decent "against" the corrupt State". keep the faith peace and love

This guy has a dual Syrian and Canadian citizenship who resides in Canada. He was in USA when he was captured, and then sent to Syria, so why Canada should pay him $10.5M. Why doesnt he ask his Country Syria to pay him? I do not think he will get even a cent, but the foolish Canadian government is always there to be robbed. We are the tax payers demand a recovery of the Arar stolen money. Mr. Arar, please demand your compensation from your original country Syria who as you said ruined life.

[raayuno]

he is only syrian because'his country' does not accept citenzenship renounciation. That means, if you are born in syrian, you will be always considered to be syrian no matter what.

As for asking syria to give him a compensation, well, the guy didnt wanna go there for a reason. he knew, the americans knew and so did the canadians that syria is a god forsaken hell hole thatnx to it authoritarian regime. he didnt go ther willingliy, they literally flew him there.

The RCMP admitted in providing the wrong information to the authorities in the USA on this man, and the consequence of this wrong information was that this innocent man had to suffer for a year. A year of torture. Sad to see some in here are not even intelligent enough to imagine even to the slightest how that would be like, reminds me of psychopaths. 1 in every 25 humans has a faulty gene which creates a psychopath. They're not murderers, they actually adapt, but have no feelings towards others

[seeaeytch]

his name is arabic and he talks w/ an arab accent AND he was boarding a plane. this guy is a complete asshole and what i can't believe is that the syrians didn't torture him more for his crimes. we need to keep arabs out of the airports and detain them in their filthy country where they belong so that america can win the war on terror and continue to shine as a beacon for hope against the terrorists who seek to terrorize us and destroy in the name of their false religion. shame on this towelhead

[bigwideeyes]

i can't tell if you are serious. this guy committed no crime, people like you make me so SICK! its just plain old racism, and thats really sad.

[aLotusOfLight]

he's just trolling, trying to piss people off, pretty sad to do it in this case, pretty sad indeed. You know, corporations (those who rule corporations, and countries also are corporations) - if they'd be people - would be deemed to be 'psychopaths' without a sense of remorse, shame or empathy towards others. Actually, a famous psychologist in the UK during the rule of Tony Blair said that after careful observation Tony Blair has all the characteristics of a psychopath, so do Obama and Bush...

@seeaeytch

That's just downright racist dude. 60% of Arabs in America are Christian, YOU RETARDED FUCK!

[waleedsuv]

Why Arrar is lying . Just tell it as it is. You are a member of the Al Ikhwan al muslimoon in Syria. An anti western group that's on the list of terrorism in the USA.

[green85beans]

yugunter is kind of a douche bag

end of story

[yugunter]

what is this Muslim blabing about, this is war, unlawfully detained - after 9/11 every Muslim should be screened at the airport, end of story

and for all the Canadian tax money this clown got, he ought to keep his mouth shut

[inklinkinklink]

You are a moron. End of story.

Any one who supports what happened to Arar should be given a good blow to the head to get things straightened up in there.

[bushkilledtowers]

I hope your parents and all you family goes through what he had, you dick

[bushkilledtowers]

yugunter, is a dick and his parents are most likey dicks too. I hope your family and friends go through what this man has, or any of your friend in Iraq, you fuck

[livnpeas]

I disagree with Reiner, we are merely behaving as such (thugs and nazis) but it does not suit us.

We will shed this dark period soon,

for we are so much better than this.

I apologize to Mr. Arar.

[chewbaca1989]

hogwash, America is full of great folks. Our government is hijacked by worse terrorists than the 9-11 attackers.
