Wil's Rant

Talk about too little too late. Harper is saying that he is now, years later, going to protest the treatment Arar received at the American's hands when they deported him to Syria. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. I guess he forgets that the reason the Yanks grabbed him in the first place was a result of faulty Canadian information. Not only that, the Canadian gov't did precious little to help him at the time. Now everyone's so sorry over the little misunderstanding that resulted in the man being tortured in Syria for a year. I'd really like to think that any of this was genuine, but I'm having slight difficulty in doing so. Harper's protest seems to come at a time when everyone is becoming very aware of the Canadian gov't actions and is taking a very hard look at it. Unfortunately, apologies rendered only after having been caught aren't worth very much.
