Former President George Bush Can't Travel for Fear of Arrest and Prosecution!

Former President George W. Bush had abruptly canceled his scheduled appearance in Geneva to avoid the risk of arrest on a torture complaint, but he appears to be safe in Texas. You see, the Swiss take the torture in which our former president sanctioned, very, very seriously! However, there are those in America who disagree with the Swiss decision. We expect that Condi Rice, his former employee would disagree with the Swiss judgment: "Not to worry, Mr. President, as I told those upstart students at Stanford, when they kept asking about waterboarding. By definition, if it was authorized by the President, it did NOT violate our obligations under the Convention Against Torture. Period. End of Story. Remember, Mr. President, it was Richard Nixon who developed the principle of presidential immunity in his famous statement to interviewer David Frost: "When the president does it, that means it's NOT illegal." If Adolf Hitler were alive today, he would be completely exonerated by the same wonderful rules, and he would certainly thank Condi for pointing these "indisputable facts" out to him.
