When I spoke to my mother last week, I mentioned (among many other things) that when I want to see
papersky,
rysmiel, and
zorinth, I have to visit Montreal, because they don't feel safe coming to the United States to visit me.
Mom asked why, and I explained. This involved me giving a three-sentence summary of what happened to Maher Arar. Her response was that they had nothing to worry about because "They don't look Arab."
Right. I'm sure that's a great reassurance to them.
