[Announce] Congress to Legalize the Torture of Canadians

On the heels of the wildly popular USA Patriot Act
(passed with a little help from anthrax that was traced back to the US
Army),
followed by the Homeland Security Act, there is now new totalitarian
legislation

http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d108:h.r.00010:

being passed under the guise of implementing the 9/11 Ommission's
recommendations.

These measures include the legalisation of the practice of rendering
Canadians (and other Aliens) to countries that practice torture, as was
done to Maher Arar when he stopped in NYC on a flight back to Canada

The legislation explicitly revises US law to remove the applicability
of the United Nations ''Convention Against Torture and Other Forms of
Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment,'' to anyone John
Ashcroft decides is a terrorist.

American citizens may also want to consider the case of Yaser Hamdi,
who until recently was a US citizen; in post-Orwellian America, any US
citizen can be jailed almost indefinitely with no charges, and then
may be let out if he or she renounces his or her citizenship and
agrees to be deported. And if the 9/11 Ommission Act passes, the US
government will decide what country he will be deported to, and who
his torturers may be. See:
