Bush Arrested in Canada for War Crimes

Bush Arrested in Canada for War Crimes

OTTAWA, CANADA (AP) -- On the first of his two-day planned visit to Canada, George W. Bush was taken into custody by Canadian authorities citing war crime charges. Under Canadian law, even a non-citizen can be charged for crimes committed outside of Canada once that individual enters the country.

The arrest claims that President Bush has been "party to the crime of torturing prisoners held in Guantánamo Bay and Abu Ghraib."

Any idea if this is accurate or not, I don't think CNN international would joke about it. I heard there were war crimes charges against him in Canada, but I didn't think this would end up happening. I'm not complaining if its true though.

12. OK, as a bone there is this:
President George Bush Charged in Provincial Court

By charlie smith

Publish Date: 2-Dec-2004

A Vancouver lawyer has filed torture-related criminal charges against U.S. President George W. Bush in Vancouver Provincial Court. Gail Davidson, cochair of an international legal group called Lawyers Against the War, told the Straight that she charged Bush on November 30 with seven counts of counselling, aiding, and abetting the commission of torture in connection with the actions of U.S. armed forces at the notorious Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq and at a U.S. naval base at Guantánamo Bay. If the case goes to trial and Bush is found guilty, he would be liable to imprisonment for up to 14 years.
