You want their names? I can’t provide all of them. But I can at least provide one. Maher Arar, a Canadian software engineer. Brutally tortured, and completely innocent.

[Link: www.nytimes.com…]

Whoa…the first paragraph says:

When the United States sent Maher Arar to Syria, where he was tortured for months, the deportation order stated unequivocally that Mr. Arar, a Canadian software engineer, was a member of Al Qaeda. But a few days earlier, Canadian investigators had told the F.B.I. that they had not been able to link him to the terrorist group.

We didn’t torture him, the Syrians did. Get your facts straight.
