 BEWARE! TERRORISTS! |
 Nope. No terrorists here. It's as safe as an ice cream float. |
While praising Canada for playing "an important counterterrorism leadership role worldwide" -- specifically through its military presence in Afghanistan -- the State Department said the Arar case had cast a chill over relations between the countries' intelligence agencies.
Arar, an Ottawa engineer and Canadian citizen, was detained by U.S. authorities in September 2002 during a stopover in New York on a flight from Tunisia to Canada.
Suspected of terrorism ties, he was sent to Syria under a policy called "extraordinary rendition." A federal inquiry into Arar's detention found he had been tortured while in Syrian custody.

"The Arar case underscores a greater concern for the United States: the presence in Canada of numerous suspected terrorists and terror supporters."
It's amazing how much more interesting US security analyses have gotten now that the old Clinton-era policy of trying to analyze the facts has been discarded for the more politically correct method of just making shit up while trying to flim-flam the rubes.
You think that the Coward in Chief would have taken this opportunity to send a few love kisses towards Canada as a token of his appreciation for Canada being stupid enough to give Mini-Me a country for the looting, but, no, the Blame Canada! crowd is still in control at Mount Doom on the Potomac, and they'll waste no opportunity in their grand scheme of pissing off the entire world (except maybe Airstrip One, and that only because the bulk of the B*sh junta is hoping to pick up a dukedom or twenty.)
