The RCMP launched a massive and highly unusual search of the home and office of an Ottawa reporter yesterday in a bid to find leaked material in the Maher Arar case.
The raid was condemned by organizations representing journalists.
"I think this is a black, black day for freedom in this country, and I'm absolutely outraged," said Scott Anderson, editor-in-chief of the Ottawa Citizen.
At 8 a.m. yesterday, 10 RCMP officers arrived at the home of Citizen reporter Juliet O'Neill with a search warrant. Over the next 5 1/2 hours, they searched her house, went through her personal belongings, downloaded her computer's hard drive and took away files, spiral notebooks, address books and phonebooks. A similar search took place at her office at the Citizen's city hall bureau.
Lawyers for a Canadian who was deported to Syria by American authorities in 2002 say they will formally file a lawsuit against U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft in New York on Thursday.
Maher Arar, a 33-year-old computer engineer who lives in Ottawa, will participate by telephone in a New York news conference announcing the filing.
The American Centre for Constitutional Rights, which announced last year that it would oversee Arar's suit, said the legal papers will be filed in the U.S. District Court for the eastern district of New York.
The centre would not comment on the details of the suit before the news conference.

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.
Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.
I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.
Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
