The forwarded email sounds like several that have come my way from the uber conservative right. Like you, I usually debunk the junk and do a "forward all" and that usually ends tripe of that kind from reaching my inbox.
As your Southern neighbor, I find the US role in rendition a criminal act overall, made worse by refusing even a simple apology to this man. Canada's error was one of mistaken identity that had horrific consequences once the man feel into the hands of our government. I agree with Canada's decision to compensate the man for their error, but I don't expect the US to apologize for renditions for decades to come.
PS: Glad to see you posting in Politics again, Baraka.
