Amnesty urges African nations to arrest George Bush

Amnesty International on Thursday urged Ethiopia, Tanzania and Zambia to arrest former US president George W. Bush for violating international torture laws, during his African tour this week.

Bush is touring the countries through to Monday to promote efforts to fight cervical and breast cancers, and Amnesty said the three nations have an obligation to arrest him under international law.

Amnesty made a similar appeal to Canada in October when Bush visited British Columbia for an economic summit.

Amnesty cites several instances of alleged torture of detainees at the Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, naval facility, in Afghanistan and in Iraq, by the US military.

The cases include that of Zayn al Abidin Muhammed Husayn (known as Abu Zubaydah) and 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, both arrested in Pakistan. The two men were waterboarded a total of 266 times from 2002 to 2003, according to the CIA inspector general, cited by Amnesty.

Amnesty International should suggest the top brass at ATF and the FBI due to their supply of thousands of guns and rifles that were shipped to a terrorist organization in Mexico that has resulted in over 46,000 murders of Mexican citizens. Oh, they should also look into the money laundering of said federal agencies. Perhaps AI would get a piece of the action. Heck, Al Sharpton would do it.

Or have all those arrogant, self-righteous nitwits get themselves captured by the Taliban. Their stupidity and mischief they cause is galactic-sized.

The minute that any nation lays a hand on Bush, is the minute every single penny of aid should stop.

Funny how you never hear about Amnesty International asking Cuba to release its political prisoners, or asking other nations to arrest the Kims of North Korea, or trying to free Christians imprisoned for “blasphemy.”

What a bunch of worthless freaks.

That was actually U.S. Taxpayers. Bush just decided to write the check with money we don't have. So now, the internationalist pinkos want him arrested for crimes against humanity while Obama bows and apologizes for American atrocities. See what mixing funny money and compassionate conservatism gets you?

The minute that any nation lays a hand on Bush they should glow in the dark

I know the Bush haters will flame me for this but GW was infinetly better than the fool we have now. At least no one wondered about his loyalty to his country
