Not sure if this case is getting as much attention in the States as it is here but this has dragged on for years. The Chief of the RCMP resigned because of it. I think the US should own up to its mistake and take the guy of the watch list.
On a completely seperate note, would the fact that Syria is torturing suspected terrorists seem to suggest they are more in cooperation with the US than the Bush administration portrays?

My congratulations. The canadian gouvernment is showing some backbone here. Everytime I remember how our gouvernment "handled" the Kurnaz- or the Al-Masri-abduction, I have to puke. The US abducts german citizens without having anything against them (even from foreign soil) and our politicians wet into their pants because they fear that someone could demand they have to say something against that. Laughing stocks.
