In other words the criminals involved with the kidnapping and torture of Arar will be let off the hook so that they may do the same thing to someone else another day.
All we need now is a Hitler in charge - oh wait, we already have more that one of those in charge.

Hmmm! Stirring things up here a little, ya think? What I heard of the report, it condemned the RCMP far more than any mention of the Americans.<br />

You may have heard the story of Maher Arar before. If so, you knew it was bad. But yesterday it got worse.<br />

These government "anti-toothpaste" guys are all wacko nut jobs with hoods and guns - all of them should be locked up for good.
In any case, what else can you expect when the government investigates itself for wrong doing?

INKSTER ON RCMP Duration: 00:09:11<br />

The notion of reforming the RCMP is getting to be something of a recurring theme. <br />
<br />
<br />
The Harper government is the latest to promise to overhaul the organization. The pledge follows an inquiry into the deportation of Maher Arar to Syria and his subsequent torture -- an inquiry that laid much of the blame at the doorstep of the men and women in red. <br />
<br />
The report, released Monday, found that Maher's deportation was "very likely" based on inaccurate and misleading information disseminated by the RCMP. So now, Ottawa wants to clean things up. But it's not the first time the Mounties have been accused of wrongdoing -- nor the first time politicians have promised an 'overhaul'. <br />
<br />
<br />
Since the late '70s, the force has been investigated, at various times, for everything from forging documents and conducting illegal electronic surveillance to illegally opening mail and burning a barn in Quebec. Over that time, the organization has been reshaped, and a chunk of its power transferred to another organization altogether, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, or CSIS. <br />

Norman Inkster was top cop at the RCMP from 1987 to 1994. He now heads up his own security consulting firm, the Inkster Group, out of Toronto.<br />
