RCMP Commissioner quits over Arar testimony

Every other Canadian media outlet is reporting on the story so I guess I should too - the RCMP Commissioner, Giuliano Zaccardelli, yesterday resigned after admitting he misled parliament in the case of Maher Arar - a Syrian-Canadian who was deported to Syria over suspected terror links. The RCMP fed bad info to the Americans and then covered it up it seems.

Arar claims he was tortured in Damascus after being detained by US officials while changing planes in the US on a journey from Tunisia to Ottawa.
