CNN profile of Maher Arar

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.

hey, what about holding th US government responsible? what a novel idea, they only sent them to his doom!

Mr. Arar was awarded that money because the Canadian government did almost nothing to secure his release. They visited him in Syria numerous times, a country the Canadians knew was notorious for torture, and left him there.

This is why we all need to keep on eye on our governments...

This is Canada Government is great, it apologizes and accepts its mistakes, NOt unlike the U.S. Government and BUsh will deny to death until now U.S. Government and C.I.A. and its torture facilities all over the world...still denies torturing...What America has Become??? tsk,tsk,tsk....SHAME ON YOU GEORGE BUSH YOU BURN IN HELL!

what a shame" under bush everything is possible!we facing fascism in our country IN USA!!

canada gave him 10.5 million dollars.

USA isnt willing to offer an apology?!

America is under domestic fascist assault. The govt has been hi-jacked by fascist, PNAC manifesto neo-CON elements masquerading as "freedom." It is a rogue, secretive govt 'by the government, for the government and of the government' with no care or regard in the world what it's citizens think.

Making amends to this situation is last thing on their minds. hell will freeze over before they apologize much less publically acknowledge their mistakes and own up to them for the sake of decency.
