People need to be able to publicly defend themselves against PUBLIC accusations, not secretive hearings. Horrible things are being done under the heading of possible terrorism. Are we reverting to the witch hunts of the middle ages when just a spoken word can lead to torture, end a person's freedom or their life? We are supposed to be a peace loving, freedom loving democracy that the whole world looks up to as being forthright and honest. I don't want to live in a country of which I have cause to be ashamed. For what it is worth, I apologise to Abousfian Abdelrazik for all the hurt and anguish he has been through at the hands of Canadian Government Agencies.
