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 U.S. 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.
Most likely he will cansel his visit to Canada,he did the same in Switzerland a few months back.-

Yeah and I did a thread on it. That was fun
We shall see whether he cancels or not but it will be a big decision for the Canadian Gov to make. There is also a responsibilty on O'Bama but he doesn't seem to want to abide by the Law either

I highly doubt Canada will arrest him. We are on shaky grounds with the US right now and this would not be in our best interest.

who is "Amnesty International" and who/what finances it. Sounds to me that "Amnesty International" is another international terrorist group and should be dealt with accordingly.
Amnesty International is a Nobel Prize winning human rights group.

AtwoZ: As you probably know,this yrs "peace"price where given 3 women...One of ´em,is closely linked to al-Islah,-an al-Qaida offspring...
Tawwakul Karman...a terrorist symphatizer....
Algore got one also. I don't think his was for fondling women as people might suspect. I think it was for his scientific knowledge of universe climate change.
Amnesty isn't going around accusing goverments,presidents.PM,and high ranking officials without valid reason.GWB is well known, authorised torture of prisoners.-
AtwoZ: Torture?
It´s genocide going on...
Kongo-Kinshasa,for instance,-between 2000-2011,probably 5 million have been butchered,-mostly in ethnic conflicts....
The rest shouldn´t even be discussed,everyone knows about it...
Let´s take a look at Chechnya,Uzbekistan,Nigeria,S.Africa....Why even Amnesty cares for GWB is beyond me...

The only way to exterminate that low-life rat is to do the same as they did with Bin Laden ..... send in an assassination squad and save the tax payer $$$$ - he has it coming to him.
