Bush arrested in Canada for war crimes

Monday, November 29, 2004 Posted: 8:19 PM EST (0119 GMT)


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."


Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin released a written statement indicating that "proceedings have commenced against President George W. Bush under the Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes Act (s. 9(3))."

2. This is satire? This

didn't happen? I clicked to the link and got caught up in it. I started yelling, "Yeah, that's it. Way to go." and singing O Canada til my neighbors started shouting, "Shut the hell up. It's Friday night. We're tryin' ta party here." and you tell me it's satire. What dismal night has fallen in my soul.

as satire right away, and people were literally yelling at me. what do i have to do? put up a flashing red light saying FAKE STORY! FAKE STORY!? 8^)

i loved the dang thing, true or not. it was just fun to read. 8^)

4. even with flashing lights

It is desired so to be true, I fear 'twould have scant effect. I suppose I should have told you that my reply too was tongue in cheek. Yet I could see such a thing as I described also happening.

7. thanks for the welcome

Been lurking since I was told about DU by someone at my Dem. headquarters the day before the election. Started volunteering from home since I'm handicapped and couldn't go in. How nice to find a place that's comfortable and has like-minded and -hearted people.
