That's what I want to know, because a person of interest can be a person which was seen having contacts with terrorist movements, without knowing whether these contacts were to terrorist purposes or whether they were innocent like, for example, someone who goes to rent premises from a landlord. The landlord has obviously had contacts with that person but may very well not be aware that that person is a terrorist. Is that what you were thinking of Mr. Arar or did you think that he could in fact be involved in terrorist activity?
