Bush charged with torture crimes
In Canada, a gag order has been lifted that allows publication of all documention pertaining to the charges filed against President George Bush for violating sections of the Canadian Criminal Code that are pusuant to the United Nations Torture Convention. The seven charges filed against Bush are based upon torture events perpetrated by US forces in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Guantanamo Bay. If indicted, Bush would be protected by diplomatic immunity while in office, but once his term expires he'd be subject to arrest in Canada.
The next hearing is scheduled for November 25,2005. More here.
