Supreme Court wonderland
In a decision the NY Times called disgraceful,
the Supreme Court denied certiorari to the Canadian Maher Arar in his civil damages case against US officials who rendered him to Syria as he transited JFK airport in 2002.
Arar was tortured there for 10 months.
The Canadians exonerated Arar, paid him millions in damages and apologised for their role in his rendition. The US, however, refused to take any action.
The Mounties are now investigating the US
Arar’s lawyer, David Cole (pic), has more to say.
