Maher Arar spent over ten months in a Syrian prison. Strangely enough, I believe his story of no wrongdoing over some INS "classified information". I wish I could get Google News to show only U.S. resources, just so I can see if anyone in this country has mentioned word one about the poor man.

In any case, it was a Very Bad Thing as far as I'm concerned.

from http://washingtontimes.com/upi-breaking/20031105-022109-9250r.htm

Unidentified officials told the Washington Post the case apparently occurred under a secret presidential 'finding' that allows the CIA to send suspects to other nations without due process to allow those countries to obtain information by torture.

that seems like somewhat of an understatement, bill.

I hadn't seen this about the secret presidential finding until just now. That's horrible.
