"We don't torture...

... we outsource that to Syria."

Canadian was falsely accused
Muslim held by U.S. was sent to Syria for interrogation

Canadian intelligence officials passed false warnings and bad information to American agents about a Muslim Canadian citizen, after which U.S. authorities secretly whisked him to Syria, where he was tortured, a judicial report found Monday.

[Maher Arar] was beaten, forced to confess to having trained in Afghanistan -- where he never has been -- and then kept in a coffin-size dungeon for 10 months before he was released, the Canadian inquiry commission found.

The article goes on to provide more information about CIA 'renditions' and possible abuses- including Italian efforts to prosecute CIA members.

The President's statements about not using torture and acting withing the law now can be said to be completely exposed as falsehoods. This exposure is devastating to any US claim to moral leadership and gives more aid and comfort to our 'enemies' than any war critic ever could.

This article also shows why it is so necessary for 'Conscience' members of Congress to reign in the President and his desires for expansive authority. He simply cannot be trusted with it.
