  No excuse There is no excuse, no justification whatsoever, that can convince me the United States government was justified in its conduct in the urlLink case of Maher Arar . Read this man's account. It's not just Maher Arar, it's happening to people all over this country: people who are deemed "suspicious," people who are urlLink held without charges , without lawyers, urlLink without protection of the law , people who are labeled "people of interest" or urlLink "enemy combatants" and imprisoned.
In our country, or elsewhere at the behest of our government, the role of the United States in these scenarios is not that of "liberator. " Land of the free? In the name of all that is good, spare me this flavor of freedom! If it can happen to them, it can happen to any of us.
