'We Agree To Disagree' With U.S. On Arar:

MacKay went on to praise the "tremendous unprecedented co-operation" between Canada, the U.S. and Mexico in areas of security. Rice reiterated previous comments on the Arar affair, saying the United States respects Canada's decision on Arar, but makes its own security decisions based on "our own information." Arar still on U.S. 'no-fly' list Arar, a Canadian citizen who was born in Syria, was detained in 2002 by U.S. authorities who suspected him of terrorist links and deported him to his homeland, where he was jailed and tortured. Arar's name was later cleared by a Canadian judicial inquiry, which blamed his deportation in part on the RCMP. http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2007/02/23/trilateral-talks-070223.html [Proofreader's note: this article was edited for spelling and typos on February 26, 2007]
