Does that mean she wasn’t #kidnapped & trafficked by a nation already known to #torture #Canadians?
#MaherArar
#Canadians haven forgotten the way the #USpoliticians & #USmedia mocked & sneered when #Canada paid #restitution to #MaherArar for being unable to #comprehend or #stop his #torture in #GITMO
