In its document "Country Reports on Terrorism 2005," the U.S. State Department finds Canada to be soft on terrorism. "The principal threat to the close U.S.-Canadian cooperative relationship remains the fallout from the Arar case," the document finds. "U.S. authorities in 2002 detained dual nationality Canadian-Syrian terrorist suspect Maher Arar in New York and returned him to his native Syria." Now we have a massive account of the Arar affair, a three-volume report by Justice Dennis O'Connor.
Much of the blame for what happened to Arar falls upon the RCMP. Officers green to intelligence work were assigned to the case without adequate supervision. They made invalid assumptions about Arar and spread false information, both to American sources and to their own government. And when Arar r...

My lawsuit," [Leo Donofrio] said on a website, "challenges his status as a 'naturalborn citizen' based upon the fact that his father was a British citizen/subject. Mr. [Barack Obama] admits, at his own website, that he was a British citizen/subject at birth. He was also a U.S. citizen 'at birth.' He does not have dual nationality now, but the Constitution is concerned with the candidate's status 'at birth,' hence the word "born' in the requirement.
Nowhere in Obama's book or biography is there any indication that his mother was ever in Kenya. However, there are several accounts that suggest Obama's mother did travel to Kenya to meet Obama's relatives. When she was ready to leave, she was not allowed to board the plane because she was too close to having a baby, according to one websit...

PERHAPS BY the time the by-election in the West Portland constituency is over, the justices of the Court of Appeal will have delivered the reasons for their decision in the Daryl Vaz/Abe Dabdoub case, and the courts will have fasttracked other hearings on whether some members of the legislature are there illegally.
Mr Vaz, it is recalled, represented the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) in the constituency during the 2007 general election. His opponent, Mr Dabdoub, argued that Mr Vaz was not eligible because, as an American citizen of dual nationality, he had, by his own act, pledged allegiance to a foreign power. Such persons are barred from being members of parliament.
Mr Vaz, having renounced his American citizenship, is again contesting the seat. The PNP nominated Kenneth Rowe, a JLP defe...

It's not like I have anything against the JAAA or they did anything to me, but because I am under a lot of pressure from my parents to compete there," explained [Mason] of his decision to switch allegiance.
Mason, who holds dual nationality, said at first he told her "no", but it reached a stage where "I wasn't going to be disobedient anymore and just decided to do whatever she told me".
Despite the move Mason, who won bronze when Jamaica hosted the World Junior Championships in 2002, will live and train with Sue Humphrey in Austin Texas. Humphrey, a two-time USA Olympic coach, trained 1996 Olympic high jump gold medallist Charles Austin.
