Syria told U.S. Canadian wouldn't be tortured: Ashcroft
The United States says it deported Maher Arar to the Middle East only after being assured that the Canadian man would not be harmed by Syria. F U L L S T O R Y
[CBC News]

Who the hell is Ashcroft trying to kid? Two weeks after the moron, aka Ashcroft's boss Bush, stood up and denounced Syria as a country that tortures people Ashcroft tries this spin? They sent him there specifically because they knew he would be tortured and they thought they'd get some info out of him. And our naive government never believed our US friends would do such a thing to one of our citizens.

Now the culture minister is saying the government really, really wants to build a new hall for the MSO but maybe not the glass box design, maybe not right away, and maybe they need a private partner to undertake the project with them. [montreal city weblog]
