I do not doubt he has suffered. Counterpunch carries a graphic description of his cell and measurements. His torture is described in detail. I saw Arar on the television one week after he arrived back in Canada. Perhaps he is resilient, but the smoothness of his face belied the extreme conditions,of his captivity. That cell, in which he was confined for ten months was like a box, three feet. six feet and seven feet high. I live in a border city. It is well know that certain Canadians have misbehaved in our sister city. They get arrested if they attempt to enter the USA. I have not heard one peep out of the local press. Yet, it is as if Arar has taken on a status of his own. Nobody seems to state that he has had a comprenhensive medical examination. I do not doubt that he did get examined. Surely an independent team of specialists could verify or cast doubt on the incredible mind boggling abuse of his body. In the meantime Canadians are murdered in Mexico. Outrage there is but..... the millions spent on Arar indicate the power of the spectre of offending Arar and his supporters. A few lone voices out there in asking more questions about Maher Arar.
