"Oct. 4, 2002 Arar is visited by Maureen Girvan, a Canadian consular officer in New York. She later says she never thought the Americans would send him anywhere except home to Canada.

Oct. 8, 2002 Arar is taken from his cell at 3 a.m. and told by American officials he is being deported to Syria on suspicion of terrorist activity. He is bundled aboard a private jet.

Oct. 9, 2002 The plane lands in Jordan and Arar is quickly transferred by car to Damascus where he is to be jailed by Syrian military intelligence.

Oct. 10, 2002 Arar gets his first look at a cell he describes as being the size of a grave. He is to spend most of the next 10 months there.

Oct. 11, 2002 Arar is tortured for the first time, beaten on his palms, wrists, lower back and hips with an electrical cable. He confesses - falsely, he says - to terrorist training in Afghanistan."

eh? Sounds to ME like it was the CANADIANS who got him RELEASED. It certainly wasn't the US government, who SENT HIM TO SYRIA!
