Just Another Bad Day...

maher arar. so there you are just hanging about at jfk airport. in transit. baggage already checked through all the way to canada - your home for the last 20 years. then as you are going through the tedium of check-in they ask you into a room. oh, it must be that random super check they do every once in a while. next thing you know you are in jail. in syria. being tortured. for a year. telling them everything and anything you want me to stay, just make it stop. i want to go home to my wife and two kids. and then, after that year, you drop me off in canada and, well, oops we made a mistake. wow, that's gotta suck.
