If you can believe it, Maher made his statements via video from Canada… for he remains on a U.S. government watch list.
Lawmakers apologize to man wrongly held
Canadian says he was tortured, forced to confess he trained at terror camp
WASHINGTON - Members of Congress apologized Thursday to a Canadian engineer seized by U.S. officials and taken to Syria, where he and the Canadian government say he was tortured.

Arar said he was grateful for the lawmakers’ apologies, but hoped the U.S. government eventually will apologize to him officially.
