Dear friends,

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. 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.

Unlike the Iacobucci Inquiry's report, Dark Days tracks the investigations through the eyes of the men who were targeted, and, unlike the Inquiry's report, weaves the stories together in a timeline that exposes the full extent of Canadian complicity in torture, and how the public was misled around these cases.

Every copy sold is a little bit of justice done for the men, and a little bit of accountability for the Canadian agencies, officials and political leaders to blame for their ordeals. All of us who have been pushing for answers in these cases would like to see this book make the bestseller's list. To do that, we need to see a concentrated bump in sales. So please consider helping out by purchasing a copy this week.

It can be purchased on line at [link] , [link] , or [link]

Please also check with your local library to ensure they have it, and if they don't, encourage them to order it.
