If this were an American, it would be all over the news.

A Canadian/Syrian citizen stopping for a layover in the United States has apparently been deported to Syria.

"Mr. (Maher) Arar, 32, was deported to Syria on Oct. 7 or Oct. 8 from Kennedy Airport in New York during a stopover on his way home to Montreal, officials at the Department of Foreign Affairs revealed yesterday. The Canadian government was not contacted about Mr. Arar's case until after he had been deported, on Oct. 10."

Now, it strikes me that if this were an American citizen, and he was deported to, say, Cuba instead of Syria, everyone would be outraged.
