Is rendition still of interest to America?
You may or may not already know the story of Maher Arar, a Canadian citizen kidnapped in New York by the US government, flown around Europe to be eventually deposited in Syrian custody where he was tortured for nine months, (he was innocent, by the way.)
Wouldn't you think his sworn testimony to an EU committee looking at renditions and Human Rights violations might be worth a mention in the US press?

Arar has just gotten very little coverage. He got a brief couple days when he sued the US, but other than that, this prime example of rendering and torturing an innocent man has been left out of the narrative.
