    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))."

    Irwin Cotler, Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada, had began an investigation into the alleged crimes of the Bush administration on the basis of reports prepared by human rights organizations, journalists and scholars as well as recent decisions by U.S. courts.

    "Let this serve as a warning to any current or former official of the Bush administration, like Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld," said Cotler, "that they enter Canada at their own risk."

    Bush's trip to Canada was originally planned to negotiate security and trade issues with Martin, including the on-going ban on Canadian beef and the 27 percent tariff on softwood lumber imports imposed by the U.S. in 2001.

    Bush received a minor injury to his face during the arrest when Canadian authorities confronted members of the Secret Service trying to protect the president during the welcome ceremony.

    The charges were initially drafted by a group called Lawyers Against the War (LAW) and then adopted by Canadian prosecutors. Michael Mandel, Professor of Law and co-chair of LAW, issued the following statement:

    "The actions of George W. Bush and his administration are nothing short of mass murder. They have killed Iraqi civilians without any lawful justification or excuse. That's a crime in the United States and in Canada and under international law. No one is above the law, not even presidents. If they do terrible things, we are going to see to it that they are personally brought to justice. We are going to prosecute them for each and every crime they commit."
    U.S. condemns arrest as ‘illegal and dangerous'

    In a press conference this morning, White House spokesman Jim Morrell said, "Under international law, active foreign officials and diplomats are immune from state prosecution. Given this fact – and the sheer absurdity of these illegal and dangerous allegations – we demand the immediate release of President Bush and a formal apology from Canada to all Americans."

    While international law forbids issuing process against a head of state, Canadian prosecutors claim that there is nothing in the decided cases on immunity from local process that prevents the opening of an investigation into international crimes committed by any foreign government official.

    Both parties in the U.S. Congress also condemned the arrest. Democrats in the House stated that "the case against President Bush is without merit and flies in the face of international guidelines and basic common sense."

    Using the same expletive from a heated exchange earlier this year, Vice President Dick Cheney was overheard on the Senate floor with an even stronger response. "These charges are f****** outrageous."

    "The incarceration of a sitting U.S. president is unthinkable," stated Republican Majority Leader Tom DeLay. "Prime Minister Martin must release President Bush without delay, or face the full glory, might and wrath of the United States of America."

    Martha Johnson, a Republican voter in Ohio, expressed similar outrage. "How dare these pretentious, liberal Canadians arrest our president? Who do they think they are? I can't believe their chutzpah. Forget North Korea and Iran … we must invade Canada next."
    Canadians are solidly Anti-Bush

    According to polls, Canadians are strongly opposed to the Iraq war and disagree with many of the president's domestic and foreign policies. An Ekos Research survey last month showed support at 84 percent for Canada's decision not to send troops to Iraq and 59 percent of respondents indicating an overall dislike of President Bush.

    The No to Bush Committee organized a large protest march in anticipation of the president's visit to Canada. Speakers include Naomi Klein, a writer known for her work against globalization, and Brandon Hughey, a U.S. war resister who escaped to Canada from Texas. The protest committee is composed of the New Democratic Party, the Canadian Peace Alliance, and the Canadian Arab Federation.

    Protesters were unanimous in their praise of the arrest this morning. "Yes, I believe that George W. Bush should be held accountable for his crimes in Iraq," stated Harold Smith from Toronto. "His actions in the U.S. and around the world have been reprehensible."

    Another protester justified Bush's arrest with a hypothetical analogy. "Let's say I heard that my ex-convict neighbor is stockpiling weapons in his apartment. I call the police but they don't act swiftly enough. So, in order to protect my family from this threat, I take matters into my own hand and break into my neighbor's home while torturing and killing members of his family. Of course, I do not find any weapons."

    "If justice is to be served, regardless if my claims had proven true, I would be thrown in jail forever for acting like an insane, murdering, vigilante cowboy. All we ask is that George W. Bush – who did the same exact thing in Iraqi on a larger, more horrifying scale – be likewise held accountable."

    A third protester was more literal. "Whatever his reasons, Bush invaded a sovereign country. He tortured and killed thousands of innocent people. He should feel very lucky that we Canadians, unlike the Texans, do not believe in the death penalty."

    *oh, and, yes, I know...for the posts that will no doubt follow.

    You'd be suprised how resourseful we can be. What happened is that we had a few comandos burried in the snow around the walk way. As soon as he passed by they jumped up, took out those secret service pansies, and captured the president. I hope you guys like it cold!! All of you southerners will be deported to the North West Territories after your country becomes the United Provinces of Canada!

    Thus why I put that last line in there. I'm aware it's bull****, but I thought it would generate some decent responses and amuse me for a few hours before I decide to get drunk, call my HS girlfriend and tell I hated her the whole time we were together. I just got done spending an entire week writing and revising a chapter of my thesis in the hopes of getting it published...my eyes are bleeding and I crave chaos and entertainment.

    And I never heard such an olsen twin rumor...i'd heard and believed the rumor that they were attending Phillips Exeter, going so far as to call my buddy who was a faculty fellow there to confirm or deny, but never heard they were dartmouth material. Have fun at subpar NYU you dumb ragdolls.

    What makes you think I have the intellect to read the entire article from top to bottom in order to see your final line. Reading is something I gave up when New Kids were still making hits.

    In the event you are looking for some good quality chaos and entertainment may I suggest a good night of Hogging? Yes, thats right there is nothing a fat chick wants more than a good looking man going out of his way to talk to her and give her a good grinding. For once in their life they feel wanted and that my friend is your ticket to Plump Paradise! I predict by 2012 Hoggin will officially become the official national past time of this great nation. I suggest you do that after you have called your HS girlfriend and inform her of your hatred. Now that sounds like an evening to last a lifetime.

    I thought every university had the Olsen Twin rumor. Hell even this sh*t hole excuse for higher education was once said to be the place they were headed to.

    You keep him!!! He was here 2 days, thats enough for us

    BTW his speech in Halifax was ok, but man quoting Mackenzie King!? Some speech writer didn't do all his homework! (King was a former prime minister who was a little loopy, was into mediums, scéances and having Madam X contact his dead mother)
