What happened in the Arar incident was inevitable, when under skilled people are allowed to make serious judgement calls. Information was volleyed between two Countries which ultimately did not want to be accountable. There were no policies in place which allows all involved to hide in the shadows.
Canada is having inquiries but also needs to learn that she is accountable to her citizens'. We have modeled our Country into a land of freedom for anyone seeking refuge not one that denies it.
Also BSiddell, you nailed it when you stated about raw information vs. intelligence. They may as well of called it, an unconfirmed rumour. The theory of intelligence certainly was not even considered in this instance at all. Strategic intellingence would have handled this matter with Arar, in Canada.
