Amnesty calls on Canada to arrest Bush
[Dawn] Amnesia Amnesty International called on Canadian authorities on 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
...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty...
 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.
If Amnesia International knew anything about international law, they'd know that:

1) Bush didn't torture anyone
2) Bush and the DoD punished those who did
3) The war in Iraq was fought in accordance with international law
4) And was fought with more concern over the rights of civilians and the innocent than any other war in history
"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 (CIA) between 2002 and 2009.
