That means more cases like Maher Arar's will happen.
My advice--don't travel to or through the U.S. In fact, I wonder if it would be worthwhile to organize a boycott of travel to the U.S. in solidarity with Arar and others until the U.S. pledges to respect Canadian passports?
Note that Martin has said he would look into the Arar case, demonstrating that pressure can work to get us some representation in instances like this, even from Martin...
Note: will still deport them ...

If Shrub comes here we should arrest him and drop him off at the Hague with a list of his crimes tattooed into his chest. We\'d have to write small, but it would be fun. That\'d teach him a little bit about international law.
Oh that we could do that.

Too bad the reporters didn\'t ask more probing questions and get Cellucci to elaborate on exactly what he was justifying in this case. The press is a lousy place to assemble the facts of the matter. Even the preliminary information-gathering stage is still incomplete.
Martin and Cellucci are in a big hurry to finish with this. It certainly doesn\'t appear that the US acted unilaterally. Arar\'s statement implies that US authorities may have sub-contracted torturing him to Syria using Jordan as an intermediary and Canada as a source of just enough information to create suspicion, which is all that\'s necessary under Ashcroft\'s new from-the-hip \"justice.\" So the US may have acted with the full multi-lateral complicity of Jordan and Syria--and possibly Canada. Why? That\'s the question. Someone had to agree to it.
There\'s a lot of provocative bluster here and no real answers. I think the passports are a red herring, a minor part of the picture. Too early to draw conclusions.
