WAR CRIMES CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY
ARE THESE STORIES TRUTH?
This past Monday, a BC Supreme Court overturned the ban on publishing everything to do with the case in Canada being brought against George W. Bush Jr. for the crime of violating the 1987 U.N. Convention on Torture. Canada, along with 139 other nations, ratified the Convention, promising to protect the inalienable rights of all the world's citizens to a life free from torture. Gail Davidson and Lawyers Against the War (LAW) filed charges under sections of the Canadian Criminal Code enacted pursuant to the United Nations Torture Convention, which requires [b]extra-territorial jurisdiction to be exercised against officials, even Heads of State[/b], who authorize or oversee torture.
The charges brought against Bush accuse him of aiding, abetting, and counseling the commission of torture. These charges are based upon the abuses of the prisoners held at the U.S. prisons in Guantánamo and Abu-Ghraib, including Canadian minor Omar Khadr, who has been held in Cuba since 2001.
Gail Davidson and Lawyers Against the War (LAW) called this ruling "a major victory" in their attempts to put Bush on trial for these crimes.
Canada blocks torture charges against Bush the Canadian government used a claim of diplomatic immunity Monday to block torture charges laid under the Canadian Criminal Code against President George W. Bush. The charges had been laid by Gail Davidson of LAW [Lawyers against the War] on the occasion of Bush’s visit to Canada on November 30. They concerned the well-known abuses at Abu Ghraib prison, photos of which shocked the world earlier this year, as well as similar abuses at Guantánamo Bay that have emerged more recently. On behalf of LAW, Davidson was seeking to fix a date for a hearing into the charges and came armed with evidence, but Judge William Kitchen acceded to the Attorney General’s objections and declared the charges ‘a nullity’.
“Of course, they’re not a nullity”, said Professor Michael Mandel, co-chair of LAW, who criticized the decision as “irregular in procedure and wrong in substance.” “These charges were properly laid and backed up by powerful evidence. The government didn’t deny that evidence because it couldn’t deny it. Diplomatic immunity is purely procedural. It doesn’t affect the validity of the charges, only whether they can be proceeded with, for the time being, in a foreign court, in this case a Canadian court. Even if Bush has immunity, it’s only temporary and it won’t shield him or anyone in his administration from Canadian law, or any other law, when they leave office. That the Canadian government would try to hush this up by hiding Bush behind diplomatic immunity was only to be expected. Paul Martin invited Bush here to ingratiate himself with the President, despite the President’s crimes against our laws and against international law, despite even his inadmissibility as a war criminal under Canada’s immigration laws – above all, despite the unending human disaster the President’s illegal ‘war of choice’ has brought to the people of Iraq.”
Vancouver lawyer Gail Davidson, who laid the charges, said “We have a lot of objections to the way these charges were handled. We can’t see the legal basis for sealing the courtroom and excluding the press and the public. We think the claim of immunity was premature and exaggerated, and the quashing of the charges not authorized by the law. We are considering our options, including an appeal of the decision. One thing we will do for sure is to pursue similar charges in Germany as part of the prosecution launched there by the American Center for Constitutional Rights. There is good reason to believe that the German authorities will show more backbone than the government of Canada in the face of the Bush administration’s trashing of international human rights law.”
Lawsuit Filed in U.S. District Court in Reno Against George W. Bush and Richard B. Cheney
WASHINGTON -- January 18 -- A lawsuit was filed late Friday January 14th in the U.S. District Court in Reno, Nevada against President Bush and Vice President Cheney.

The complaint alleges that both defendants and others working within the White House and Defense Department have covertly implemented a white paper called “Rebuilding America’s Defenses” as presented by the Project for the New American Century or PNAC in September, 2000 two months before the murky elections of that year. Among the persons signing the paper were Richard Cheney and Jeb Bush. While the paper was published on the internet, implementation of it by the White House has been in secret.
