Canadian citizen detained at JFK airport, deported to Syria where he was tortured. US Minister Ridge said "intelligence from foreign countries raised terrorist suspicions about Arar, who never was charged. Arar denies any terrorist links."
Suppose Maher's innocent, in every sense of the word, and Ridge screwed up; should he personally accept responsibility for his actions?
Suppose he's guilty, in the sense that he had terrorist links, what justification is there for Maher (a Canadian citizen remember) being deported to Syria, a country Ridge's boss is on record as saying tortures its citizens (and others, apparently) and sponsors terrorism?
I can imagine Maher was terrified, and the source of his terror is the action of Minister Ridge; does it follow that the US state sponsors terror?
