Dave,

Arar to stay on watch list, U.S. says
PAUL KORING AND JEFF SALLOT
From Tuesday's Globe and Mail
WASHINGTON, OTTAWA — Maher Arar should remain on the security watch list
barring him from the United States, the Bush administration says in a
letter released yesterday that bluntly rejects pleas from senior

conclusion of a Canadian-requested review by U.S.
The full text of this article has 591 words.
To continue reading this article, you will need to *purchase this article*.

And it then shows various payment methods.
Sure looks like a pay site to me.
Even if it weren't a pay site, you have to sign up to read, and that's
almost as annoying.
