Glenn Greenwald reminds us of our complicity in the US torture orgy in this article which also references Canada's Maher Arar as one of its innocent victims.

There has to be trials of the people responsible for allowing this torture to proceed, including those in Canada who facilitated its operations and covered up its existence. I would submit that our Prime Minister and many cabinet ministers are guilty of violating our treaty obligations wrt torture and thus should be charged, at the very least, with abrogating their 'duty of care' to uphold Canada's laws.
Unfortunately, the society in which I live is too frightened, bigoted and bloodthirsty to understand concepts like the rule of law.
