For some reason, it just didn&#8217;t have quite as much information for me and the text just wasn&#8217;t cutting it for my audio\/visual personality. (image is from actual Ottawa Citizen website)<\/p>\n<p>This drove me to flip on the boobtube and I caught a couple of hours of <em>CTV-Ararnet<\/em>.  For those of you not on digital cable &#8230; you lose!!  But for some reason, they missed some of the choice audio clips that I was really looking forward to hearing today.  (I read about them on <em>Dear Arar<\/em>, the syndicated advice column designed for people who missed out on past Arar events.)<\/p>\n<p>So I proceeded to turn on my Sirius digital satellite radio to listen to the 24\/7 Arar call in talk radio show called <em>Arar You Sirius? <\/em>and dialled in a few times to try to ask about these hidden audio gems.  No dice.  The lines were packed with angry callers from Damascus demanding photos of his Syrian passport.<\/p>\n<p>So, I just did the same old, same old and visited the <em>www.arar.youtube.com<\/em> hoping one of the Arararrazzi caught some good cellular phone video footage that they uploaded.  Now and then I find some really awesome audio to go along with the video.<\/p>\n<p>Barring this, I will just have to catch that Gemini winning, CBC reality show <em>Terror Error &#8211; The Maher Arar Affair<\/em>.  Season 5 is available on DVD in time for Christmas. (nudge nudge wink wink to my wife)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So I got up this morning and flipped open the big 24 page Arar section in my Sunday edition of the Ottawa Citizen.
