Can Canada really arrest Dubya?
Amnesty International's call for Canada to arrest and either prosecute or extradite George W. Bush for war crimes


Global Research, October 14, 2011
National Post

In this occasional feature, the National Post tells you everything you need to know about a complicated issue. Today, Sarah Boesveld unpacks Amnesty International's call Wednesday for Canadian authorities to arrest and either prosecute or extradite George W. Bush for war crimes:

Q Why is Amnesty International calling for the former president's arrest? Why now?

A The group says Mr. Bush's visit to Surrey, B.C., next Friday to attend an economic summit is the perfect chance to nab him for events during the CIA's secret detention program between 2002 and 2009, which allegedly include "torture and other cruel, inhuman and degrading-treatment and enforced disappearances." Canada is "obligated" to act, said Susan Lee, Amnesty's Americas Director. "A failure by Canada to take action during his visit would violate the UN Convention against torture and demonstrate contempt for fundamental human rights." Greater urgency comes since the U.S. hasn't acknowledged the crimes, added Alex Neve, the secretary general of Amnesty International Canada. This is the first time Amnesty has been so specific in a call for a Canadian visit, he said. "George Bush is not a sitting president anymore ... He's also not coming for official UN meetings, he doesn't have any kind of diplomatic immunity." On Sept. 21, Amnesty submitted an "extensive legal brief"to the government, backed up by "thousands of pages" of documents.

Q Does Canada really have the power to arrest him? ...

I don't think the President has any control over the CIA and probably hasn't ever since JFK was killed by them.
Why doesn't anyone ever call for the CIA criminals to be arrested?

Bush might not get arrested but he CAN be hounded out of the country.

Don't forget, these people do not go about in public anymore. Cheney visited two weeks ago and the protesters were out.

Bush visits Surrey BC Oct 20th.

The really funny bit is, this is about a 15-minute drive from the USA border. JUST IN CASE HE HAS TO MAKE A RUN FOR IT!!

btw: Banff is really lovely too.

Well, try to understand that the Great American War Machine is eating all the money and blood in your country and now in many other countries of the planet.

Try to understand that the hideous American gov't absolutely supports this.

Then, since the rest of the world has not been mainlined propaganda, try to understand why the rest of the world is really starting to fucking hate the American bullshit. Worldwide.

Well try to understand this our country is only 235 years old. This world was corrupt and full of evil men long before America was established. Seems like you boys are mad because we brought a gun to a knife fight. So suck it my little Canadian friend.

They can, but they won't. As for the CIA, Ron Paul wants to meld it into the military, since it is an arm of the military and dispense with the CIA itself.
