What Maher Arar Hesitates to Ask....

News Item: “OTTAWA, December 12, 2006 - Arar Commission recommends a new review agency for the RCMP’s national security activities, and a new review process for five other agencies.”

Well! Are we not all gratified? Are we not all happy that the truth is out? Are we not feeling good that Canada is such a functioning democracy? We have Justices and judicial systems that are upright, straight shooters, tell-it-all, tell it like-it-is, types. The Commission has proved that Canadian cops (it does not matter which branch, which underhanded, undeclared, super-secret, un-named as yet, agency they belong to) did dish out fabricated, mendacious, two-timing, concocted, lying, fictive nonsense in a slavish and slovenly manner to their counterparts south of the border ? It was not a mistake-in-a-hurry? It was no cultural confusion. It was a deliberate cultural attack. But, we are just such gung-happy, self-congratulating Canducks. We flap our wings in delight. The Honorable Justice Dennis R. O’Connor has done the right thing! He has not stood us up! He has delivered justice and made important recommendations. Which, for sure, will be weaseled out of, by the Harper-Day doctrinal Canadian neocons, who were duly and appropriately put in power by the same wing-flapping Canadian masses, just about a year ago? We are going to now rest in peace, having assured ourselves that the system works, there is justice after all! Unlike Watertown, where the lying bureaucrats got exposed (actually they went to jail, and Judge O’Connor was the one who handled that Commission as well), this time the two-timing rattlesnakes will probably remain unnamed and sheltered while the RCMP boss Zaccardeli took the hit, (even though he obviously acted very clumsily and in haste, doing double takes while he played with the facts).

The question that needs to be asked now is WHO and in WHAT state of mind, decided to fabricate this data? What is the cultural make-up of the hicks who sat down in front of their desks and decided that a weirdly named dude like Maher (not Michael, not Melvyn, not Morty, not Morgan) does not deserve an iota of sympathetic investigation as to his background, his legacy, who he is and what he does as a Canadian citizen. Here is a man named Maher who had flown back and forth between Boston and Montreal several times before this un-named lazy-ass, racist, bigoted rat decided he was just simply going to dispatch the dude via-his hill-Billy red neck compadres to the south to a Syrian torture chamber. And all the time this unnamed rat knew non-challantly well, that he was dispatching this Muslim-sounding, non-white, non Judeo Christian, possibly-bearded, useless, non-real-Canadian to meet his destiny. By a flick of the pen, by a jab on the keyboard and accompanied with a boastful belly laugh, he threw this “useless troublemaker” into hellfire. Because he felt like it. Job done for the day. Another niggah dispatched! That’s what he thought..

Now, wait a minute does the RCMP and CSIS not have sensitivity training? Don’t they have diversity exposure? Do they not know about “other” cultures? Are they not taught that Jacob and Yacub (MS Word 2003 recognizes Jacob, not Yacub) or Samuel and Ishmael and Maher Arar and Bill Maher (www.billmaher.com) are all legitimate human names? What’s with the guy? Was he drunk? Reclining on his chair, feet on the desk, playing Nintendo Patriot games? What was his state of mind? Who is he? Why does he feel that he can concoct such a story and please his American masters? Why does he feel no compunction to verify some facts, some reliable info, before he dishes out this political pornography? What gives him so much confidence that his country Canada will hide him away? Let him flee justice, while pretending he is on National Security detail? And who is going to follow-up and find this rat that did this to Maher? Will Stockwell do it? Why is Stockwell Day launching another commission on another three people who were similarly dispatched and tortured with lying propaganda? Why another Commission? Just to prove that the system works, after the funeral? Why don’t the cops, for once, stand up and behave like humans and tell us who did it and why he did it and not cover –up for his brother/sister who did this near murderous act?

Maher Arar is a decent man. He asks decent questions. He does not get angry. His face shows pain and dignity. He is like an apostle. Well, buddy Maher! it is time you asked the question “Whodunit?” Get a bit unfriendly, my friend! Because, all of us here, ordinary Canadians who have no aspirations beyond making a living in a country we thought was “different” and tolerant and more open to ideas and peoples from other corners of the world, would really like to know who is that rat who has been trained to sniff up our coloured posteriors, report on us and make up fables about us?
We want the name of that lazy, backboneless pretend jackass who is hiding behind some ones apron.
