Independent Online Edition > World Politics: "Lorne Waldman, the human rights lawyer representing Maher Arar, said it was 'ridiculous' for the US Ambassador to London, Robert Tuttle, to deny any renditions by the US of terrorist suspects to Syria had taken place.
Mr Tuttle denied there was evidence of a rendition to Syria but the US Embassy in London later issued a clarification admitting there were reports of one case involving Mr Arar.
'The case of Mr Arar is too public for someone to claim they are not aware of it,'' Mr Waldman said on BBC radio. 'To suggest, as the US ambassador did, that they were not aware of the case is ridiculous.''"
