toronto, sept. 18 - canadian intelligence officials passed false warnings and bad information to american agents about a muslim canadian citizen, after which u.s. authorities secretly whisked him to syria, where he was tortured, a judicial report found monday.. the report, released in ottawa, was the result of a 2 1/2-year inquiry that represented one of the first public investigations into mistakes made as part of the united states' "extraordinary rendition" program, which has secretly spirited suspects to foreign countries for interrogation by often brutal methods.. .

oh well, he was just a muslim so who cares, right?

more justifiable "collateral damage" in the war on terror.

17 Days: One Final Adventure

i once posted here a copy of my empassioned plea to the watchtower society--i want my mother back.

well, i just wanted to let all of you know that i got her back for a whole 17 days, and we had one final adventure together before she died, and there wasn't a damned thing they could do about it.. my mother is, was, a long-term loyal jw and i was her disfellowshipped daughter.

i believe she was in an almost constant state of conflict over me because her very strong maternal instincts demanded she behave openly and lovingly toward me, while her wts-trained conscience demanded the opposite.
