Time Canada (December 27 2004) Canadian Newsmaker of the Year -- Seeking the Truth --How one man's quest for justice is quietly reshaping a nation's values and law --Who is Maher Arar? In 2002, U.S. officials detained the Canadian software engineer at New York City’s John F. Kennedy International Airport. They alleged that he was linked to al-Qaeda and secretly deported him to Syria, where he says he was tortured. When Arar was freed more than a year later and the public got a glimpse of him, he seemed to be a likable, hard-working family man... Arar has launched two gutsy lawsuits in 2004 targeting some of the most powerful people on the continent, including U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft, FBI Director Robert Mueller, former Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien and R.C.M.P. Commissioner Giuliano Zaccardelli. (Quick Action!! Vote on Time Canada's WebPage: 'Do you agree with our choice of the Canadian Newsmaker of the Year?' (Maher Arar))

...and we need to send the signal that family-man Maher Arar is a far, far better choice than Dictator Bush as Time's U.S. choice for 'person' of the year.
