		Arar is perhaps the world's best-known case of extraordinary rendition _ the U.S. transfer of foreign terror suspects to third countries without court approval.
		Arar has committed any offense or that his activities constitute a threat to the security of Canada," Justice Dennis O'Connor said Monday in a three-volume report on the findings of the inquiry, part of which was made public.
		The RCMP described Arar as the "target" of a domestic anti-terrorist investigation in Canada when in fact he was a peripheral figure who had come under suspicion only because he had been seen in the company of the man who was under surveillance, the report found.

		Instead, Arar, who has a modest home in Ottawa, has stepped into the spotlight as a vocal proponent of human rights in Canada, a symbol of how fear and injustice have permeated life in the West since 9/11.
		Arar has launched two gutsy lawsuits in 2004 targeting some of the most powerful people on the continent, including U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft, FBI Director Robert Mueller, former Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chr?tien and R.C.M.P. Commissioner Giuliano Zaccardelli.
		One of the concerns Arar has had all along is that Canadian authorities were contracting out the questioning of suspects to jurisdictions where methods would be used that were unacceptable here at home.

		The usually restrained Arar, 36, showed signs of a sense of humour and certainly a sense of satisfaction after receiving $10.5 million compensation from the federal government and an apology from Prime Minister Stephen Harper for Canada's role in his torture more than four years ago in a Syrian prison.
		Arar said he still gets upset with the way he is portrayed in the media, where he is often referred to as former terror suspect.
		Arar's next battle is to clear his name in the United States, which may be far tougher, it appears, considering the U.S. refuses to take his name off its no-fly list, despite evidence compiled in Canada that he is not and never was a terror suspect.
