Bush and War Crimes Story from Toronto- write to the author!
Should Canada indict Bush?


THOMAS WALKOM

When U.S. President George W. Bush arrives in Ottawa — probably later this year — should he be welcomed? Or should he be charged with war crimes?

It's an interesting question. On the face of it, Bush seems a perfect candidate for prosecution under Canada's Crimes against Humanity and War Crimes Act.

This act was passed in 2000 to bring Canada's ineffectual laws in line with the rules of the new International Criminal Court. While never tested, it lays out sweeping categories under which a foreign leader like Bush could face arrest...

Everyone: Please send letters to this author asking him to cover the election fraud story in Canada. This went around before but it has disappeared so I am posting it again. International media may be our best bet at this point. Send him facts, links, evidence, etc. Ask that he help us get the word out because our media is in
lockdown. If he is wanting to try Bush for war crimes- what we have to share with him is going to make his heart sing. Let's get him on board - quickly!

Thanks!

1. Hmmm
It would be great if Canada would charge him..but I think that as long as he is on official business as President of the US he has diplomatic immunity..

However, if he was to take a vaction to do some fishing or something else that was non political then perhaps they can grab him and charge him

3. Also, please send e-mails to "The Fifth Estate",
an investigative documentary program on the CBC network in Canada. You can e-mail them at http://www.cbc.ca/fifth/contact.html They do fantastic work. They did a great show on Cheney "The unauthorized Autobiography of Dick Cheney" http://www.cbc.ca/fifth/dickcheney/

5. But we can approach the author about the election fraud story...
He is obviously on the team- if we all write to him and send him info on VoterGate- we might be able to enlist him to do a story up there and perhaps get it going internationally. Obviously our mainstram media is no use- but here's someone who already wants Bush out. It's worth a try, right? I just sent him a long letter with links and asked for his help. I figure if a bunch of us ask for his help- we might get somewhere...
