This guy is a dual national, subject to the vagaries of same. Sort of like the guys who secretly gets Israeli citizenship while keeping US or the guy who gives up Chinese, becomes US and then is kidnapped when he returns to China and pressed into military. This guy apparently FEARED torture in Syria, so why not surrender Syrian and become solely Canadian,.....D'OH Not surprisingly, this is a huge story in Canada. It appears that the information that initially identified Maher Arar as a terror suspect came from Canadian authorities (either the RCMP or CSIS). Furthermore, Canadian consular officials apparently knew he was going to be deported to Syria, and did not to prevent it. There is a second Syrian-Canadian, Abdullah Almalki, still being held in Syria under apparently worse conditions. They were apparently linked by a leasing agreement that Arar witnessed for Almalki - provided by Canadian authorities!
