Its about Maher Arar, a Canadian citizen who was pulled off a flight in the United States, tortured (waterboarded) all this becuase he was unfortunate enough to share the name of a person on a terrorist watch-list.
He was literally dropped back off at his home in Canada after months of isolation and torture like nothing ever happened.
Some really sad and fucked up shit.... we tortured and imprisoned someone by mistake and the media never said much of anything about it.
You can hear him explain what the song is about on this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yyLIcaHBXE#t=68
