Khadr wasn’t so sure it was Maher Arar after all…
It seems that FBI interrogator Robert Fuller’s testimony is a little different today. Yesterday he testified that Omar Khadr, while being interrogated at Bagram in Afghanistan, identified Maher Arar by name, and said he’d seen him in al Qaeda-run “safe-house” near Kabul.
Today, Fuller’s story appears to have changed.
According to Canwest news reports, interrogation notes show that Omar Khadr only told interrogators that the man in the picture they showed him “looked familiar.”
It gets worse. It also turns out that “in time” Khadr told interrogators that he “stated he felt he had seen” the person in the picture in Afghanistan in 2001, a time when Maher Arar’s life in North America is well-documented.
