Must Read Book - Dark Days by Kerry Pither The Story of Four Canadians Tortured in the Name of Fighting Terror.

I have been asked by a good friend to distribute this note.
As Jim say's "If we and our friends purchase 400 by Saturday we can make
it a "best-seller" in Canada."

I am writing to encourage you to pick up a copy of Kerry Pither's Dark
Days: The Story of Four Canadians Tortured in the Name of Fighting
Terror. Moreover, I ask that you promote it on your email list. It is a
compelling and important account of what happened to the men whose
stories were the subject of the Iacobucci Inquiry: Ahmad El Maati,
Abdullah Almalki, Maher Arar and Muayyed Nureddin.

It can be purchased on line at www.Amazon.ca <http://www.Amazon.ca> or
www.Octopus.ca . If we and our friends purchase
400 by Saturday we can make it a "best-seller" in Canada.

The book has received good reviews in the Globe, Toronto Star and
Canwest, and here's what Cameron Ward wrote about it for the Georgian
Straight: "Writing in a compelling, fast-paced dramatic style, Pither
exposes the ineptitude, if not the outright malevolence, of other
Canadian officials who not only turned a blind eye to the plight of the
four Canadians as they rotted in jail, but actually relayed
interrogation questions to their Syrian torturers. The Syrians
apparently felt they were doing Canada's bidding and the Canadian
consular officials who were in a position to disabuse them of that
notion, and return the four men to their Canadian homes, utterly
neglected to help. Pither names names, and her portrayal of Franco
Pillarella, former Canadian ambassador to Syria, and his subordinate Leo
Martel, is less than flattering. The reader cannot help but be angered
by the obtuse ignorance of these men and their complete failure to
discharge their primary duty, which was to safeguard the interests of
Canadian citizens abroad."

Kerry has a blog where you can read more about the book and link to
