Don't let it go Mr. Ashcroft

By now I am sure you have heard about Maher Arar: the Syrian-born Canadian citizen who was deported to Syria by the US officials. He spent about a year in a Syrian jail and was subject to constant torture.

Recently, US Attorney general, John Ashcroft, has claimed that Arar deportation was within law . I don't know what law he is talking about but in short what I can say is that the appropriate place for the (Ashcroft's) law that allows and creates the conditions in which an innocent person goes into so much ordeal and torture is nowhere but in a toilet bowl with more than once flashing of it. Then, may be even Mr. Ashcroft should stick firm to his law and be a companion for that law during the circular downward journey.

I also found this letter to the editor interesting.
