Canada can do what it wants. We appear to think he has some connection to AQ, and since he is a Syrian citizen, sent him back. If you have a problem with how Syria treats their citizens, maybe you should be criticizing them. All we did was put him on a plane. I applaud my country for kicking out undesirables. The US is not open to terrorists, even if Canada welcomes them.

He was traveling on a Canadian passport, and he was a Canadian citizen. Sending someone to a country they had fled, knowing full well they will be tortured and knowing full well the country they should have been extradited to, is a crime.

If he committed a crime then charge him, if not he is a Canadian Citizen and must be treated as such.

Tell me, if Canada whisked Henry Kissinger off to Germany to help Interpol bring him before a Spanish Court do you think America would stay quiet? And hell there would be ample reason, probable cause, he'd get a fair trial, and he wouldn't be tortured.

This is conspiracy to commit torture and you're perfectly fine with it. Since you hate the Rule of Law so much why don't you leave the US? I'm sure there are plenty of dictatorships which could use apologists like yourself.
