Canada has reached a settlement with Maher Arar for some $10.5 million, about 9 million in US funds. Good news for Arar who will no doubt use this as ammunition to go after US authorities in order to get compensation from them and to be removed from a US security watch list.

This is the fall-out of deporting terror suspects to nations that torture and it is very instructive in how not to fight the war on Islamist terror. I've discussed this case in detail a while ago in a lengthy post about the Arar case.
