U.S. rejects outside probe of Canadian man's rendition to Syria?
US refusing inspections and outside investigations into possible human rights abuses? time for invasion and regime change?
"U.S. officials may have sent Arar to Syria, rather than Canada, because they knew of the likelihood of torture...
Mukasey said U.S. officials received assurances from Syria that Arar would not be tortured. "Sending him to Canada could have posed a threat to our country," Mukasey said, adding that sending him to Syria was "safer."
Maria LaHood, an attorney for the Center for Constitutional Rights in New York, which represents Arar in the United States, replied, "Sending Maher to Syria instead of home to Canada was certainly not safer for him, and did nothing to make the United States safer."...The Canadian government has cleared Arar of any links to terrorist groups, has apologized and has paid him millions of dollars in compensation. "
no one thinks we should liberate the american people from their human rights abusing leaders who refuse to cooperate with investigations?

Have you ever seen the movie "Rendition". Rent it. Watch it. And you will understand why we did not "probe". The short answer is because we do the exact same thing. That is the point of rendition; to send people to countries with no laws against torture so that we can have their citizens torture them for "vital information" and us not technically be responsible. Its how we keep the blood off of our hands and the UN off our backs. Perfectly legal...technically speaking. But highly immoral.

It seems the people who have implemented the violations of US and national human rights NEED to be able to produce some "terrorist" to show that they are needed.
As with all other endeavors of the current administration, this too crumbles into tragic incompetence.
