Bush has enjoyed impunity and it is disgraceful (December 31st)

George Walker Bush the 65 year old US former president is coming under increasing scrutiny over his illegal activities whilst president writes Nikolas Kozloff. Kozloff states “For far too long, Bush has enjoyed impunity and it is disgraceful that few have questioned his efforts to create a freedom institute in Texas. While it’s doubtful that the authorities would ever investigate the former president for war crimes or torture, pressing for such efforts would send an important signal that activists are not willing to put up with a legal double standard in this country anymore. …If protests were to spread, Bush might find that he has difficulty in travelling not only to foreign lands but also to domestic destinations within the US itself. More importantly perhaps, such demonstrations might spur efforts to unite Occupy with the anti-war movement and thus further galvanise the ongoing season of protest”.

George Walker Bush the 64 year old former President of the United States of America has cancelled a planned visit to Geneva to address a Jewish Charity after being advised a human rights group is lodging in Swiss Courts criminal charges relating to the torture of terrorism suspects held in a CIA interrogation program he approved that authorized water-boarding, forced stress positions and sleep deprivation. A US based Center for Constitutional Rights along with the European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights has issued a preliminary “indictment” to prosecute Bush if ever he travels outside of the US. Bush’s planned trip to Geneva would have been his first trip to another country since his memoir was published in which he admitted authorizing the torture techniques.
