Maybe next time we won't tell you about it at all.

Fine with me as long as it spares us needless whining about wild goose chases our our idiot neighbor to the north sends us on.

AFAIK one of our agencies told one of your agencies that he was a guy to keep an eye on. So, the next time he's in New York switching flights, you arrested him and shipped him to Syria before anybody could say anything.

I have not been given the impression that we ever requested his arrest. He would have been in Canadian territory in a couple of hours, so what would have been the point?

[KrazyHorse]

Snooze. "Wild goose chases" coming from the country that arrested a few thousand people for nothing, held them without charges for 6 months or a year and then let them go?

Good job...

I would like to see how the United States government would react if Canada shipped an American citizen in Canada, who is suspected of terrorism.

Considerably more came out of it than that - we were able to deport a lot of those ragheads on immigration violations. Protecting American jobs from terrorists ya know.

Nobody "made" you arrest some innocent guy and send him off to some half baked dictatorship that's "helping you out" by torturing AQ semi-suspects because it's afraid that it might be next on your hit list.

The authorities of Canada and many other countries cooperate with the US in the "War on Terror" (R) by suppling information. What your government does with this information, it, and only it, is accountable for. As for us, many Canadians would like our government to be accountable for it's part in this travesty. Holding your government accountable - now there's a concept. You should try it sometime.

This whole thread is a snooze since it was the Canadians that brought the man to our attention and considering how cagey your government is being about the affair likely requested the man's arrest. We went foward based on the information Canada gave us. It's begining to look like you should look in the mirror to address this problem.

Nazi communist!!!!

[KrazyHorse]

a) Why would we request the arrest of a citizen that was going to be in Canada in 2 hours anyways?

b) If you were doing it on our request, then why would send him to Syria instead of to Canada?

c) Our government is likely being cagey because they provided some information to you, and given what you did with it, are going to be called irresponsible (and rightly so, given the US' behaviour of late).

[KrazyHorse]

Dino, your "you asked us to arrest him and ship him to Syria for you" hypothesis is laughable on its face. Try again...

Disallowed -- we were discussing the flag.

Translating Dino's post to logically correct-speak:

You see Canadians, the US gov't is idiotic. 'Specially when it's run by fascists like Ashcroft. If good intel contradicts the political establishment, it's spun or ignored by the powers that be. Or better yet, they don't actually bother to do the intel, to maximize corporate subsidies so they ship terror suspects off to be tortured, innocent or guilty. So your gov't is by proxy idiotic because it may have given just a little bit of discretion to the US, whose gov't like I said is totally retarded. And it's evil (thus, Chretien et al. are by proxy evil).
