If I've flown into the Port-au-Prince airport, does that mean I've been to Haiti? What, exactly, constitutes a trip to another country?

    "Yawn... A rather pedestrian topic this time. More interesting - and ominous - is the fact that flying through a country such as the U.S., with merely an in-airport momentary stopover, can lead to being tossed in a military prison for alleged terrorism."

    Good point. Can Maher Arar really be said to have "seen" Syria from his grave-like torture cell? [See story http://www.maherarar.ca/mahers%20story.php}
