Arar lawyers protest federal bid to withhold papers
Advertisements [?]
OTTAWA (CP) ? Information obtained under torture by foreign countries and relayed to Canadian intelligence services should not be suppressed at the Maher Arar inquiry, the Ottawa man's lawyers say.

In a submission filed today, Marlys Edwardh and Lorne Waldman asked Justice Dennis O'Connor, the inquiry commissioner, to approach with skepticism the government's application to withhold a wide range of documents from public scrutiny.

Government lawyers argued late last month that disclosure of investigative methods used by the RCMP and Canadian Security Intelligence Service could make them pariahs of the global intelligence community or even provide terrorists with valuable information.

Our brave new world. And in the middle of an election campaign. Imagine what it will be like after the election!
