Sane Canadians Seek to Bar Bush

Via Raw Story

Even out of power and away from the White House, former President George W. Bush seemingly cannot get away from calls for his prosecution.

The latest outcry comes from a Canadian attorney with Lawyers Against the War, who said she will file a suit against Bush and bar his entry to Canada over alleged war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Former President Bush plans a visit to Canada on March 17 for a speaking engagement at Calgary, on invite from the city’s chamber of commerce.

“In a letter to the [Royal Canadian Mounted Police] war crimes section and copied to Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff and other federal ministers and opposition MPs, the Lawyers Against the War group claims that Bush is ‘inadmissible to Canada . . . because of overwhelming evidence that he has committed, outside Canada, torture and other offences’ as detailed in Canada’s War Crimes Act,” reported Canada.com.

  3. It is nice to know there are countries that actually take rule of law seriously.  

  4. invited Bush to speak? I would love to portray my beloved homeland as a haven for liberal frivolity and tolerance but I would be lying.

    Ignatieff, the new Liberal leader is a man of strong intellect and on that level I admire him, but a fucking poser he supported the invasion of Iraq. Wonder if he will bring it up in parliament.

  5. and then arrest him.  The Hague is waiting for him.

  7. To Americans viewing this:

    We Must have a Special Prosecutor appointed to run the investigation, indictment and prosecution of Bush, Cheney, and co-conspirators.

    WE Cannot Wait For The National Media or a savior o Do This For Us.

    It is up to us as individuals.
