MR. PRESIDENT. YOU NEED CLARITY? HERE'S YOUR CLARITY... Meet Maher Arar.

Bush seems to be having trouble understanding the concept of personal dignity or what an assault on that dignity might be.

We should not have people in the White House who need clarification on this topic.

MR. PRESIDENT. YOU NEED CLARITY? HERE'S YOUR CLARITY... Meet Maher Arar.:

If President Bush needs clarity to interpret the Geneva Conventions anti-torture provisions - and he really means it - the next visitor to the Oval Office should be Maher Arar, a Canadian computer consultant who was labeled - wrongly - as a dangerous radical and 'an Islamic extremist individual.'

If Congress needs to hear what being held without due justice under CIA cover as it is now, the next person they need to interview is Maher Arar, who was taken by U.S. authorities and secretly rendered to Syria, where he was '...beaten, forced to confess to having trained in Afghanistan -- where he never has been -- and then kept in a coffin-size dungeon for 10 months,' said a report focusing on Canadian intelligence

If John McCain, Lindsay Graham, John Warner and Colin Powell need to confirm what they've believed all along about how wrong-headed and criminal the Bush Administration's desire to continue their definition of legal interrogation, the next persons they need to break bread with is Maher Arar and his wife - a university economist - who were placed on al-Qaeda 'watchlist,' without any justification.
