Sickening

The story that I’m linking to here is not surprising to me in the least. It’s one that I am quite aware of since I follow this kind of stuff, but sadly one that most of America is ignorant of (either on purpose or not). Please try and alert others to this story. It’s far from the only one out there.

 Canadian citizen Maher Arar, who is barred from entering the United States, delivered his acceptance speech for the Letelier-Moffitt International Human Rights Award in a pre-recorded videotape. This is a transcript of his speech, which was viewed at the award ceremony hosted by the Institute for Policy Studies on October 18, 2006 in Washington, DC.
