But the evil George butt-kissing Conservatives will not only look the other way but will go out of the their way to welcome the former war-mongering and human rights violating former President, who rightfully should be, along with his evil twin Dick Cheney, tried for torture and crimes against humanity.
VANCOUVER – Amnesty International called on Canadian authorities Wednesday to arrest and prosecute George W Bush, saying the former US president authorized “torture” as he directed the US-led war on terror.

Bush is expected to attend an economic summit in Surrey in Canada’s westernmost British Columbia province on October 20.
London-based Amnesty made a case for Bush’s legal responsibility for a series of human rights violations in a memorandum submitted last month to Canadian authorities but only now released to the media.
“Canada is required by its international obligations to arrest and prosecute former president Bush given his responsibility for crimes under international law including torture,” Amnesty’s Susan Lee said in a statement.
“As the US authorities have, so far, failed to bring former president Bush to justice, the international community must step in. A failure by Canada to take action during his visit would violate the UN Convention Against Torture and demonstrate contempt for fundamental human rights.” Lee said.
Amnesty, backed by the International Civil Liberties Monitoring Group, says Bush authorized the use of “enhanced interrogation techniques” and “waterboarding” on detainees held in secret by the Central Intelligence Agency between 2002 and 2009.
