[QUOTE]Originally posted by Saltah'na: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Tahna Los: [qb] Spring 2002: A Canadian of Lebanese Descent is heading home after a business trip from London to Toronto with a stopover in New York. Once in New York, he is immediately detained because he is suspected of having links to Al Qaeda. The man insists that he is only a businessman returning from a business related venture, but is promptly arrested by police. He is held not only without proper counsel, but is denied requests to see a member of the Canadian Consulate who would attempt to iron things out. He languishes in a New York Prison where guards threaten to send him to Guantanamo Bay unless he provides information about the whereabouts of Al Qaeda Operatives he knows nothing about. He is then deported, not to Toronto where he has made his home for the last 20 years, but to Lebanon. Only then are the Canadian authorities notified. Fortunately, the man turns up at a Lebanese police station 30 days after his detention, unharmed, and pretty pissed off at the U.S. Government. He is seeking a lawsuit of unspecified damages.[/qb][/QUOTE]I have heard news of a second man in very similar circumstances. Making a trip back to Toronto from Paris, stopping at New York, but this time the man is of Syrian Descent, so he was deported to Syria, [b]denying requests of counsel, denied requests to speak with the Canadian Consulate[/b]. This time however, unlike the Syrian Police allowing him to leave, they take him into custody and accuse him of Spying for the U.S. From what I hear, he is set to be executed pretty soon, don't know when. So if he dies, I suppose the U.S. has a lot to answer for, hmm? Or is this just a "drop in the bucket in the grander scheme of things?" [/QB][/QUOTE]
