It's some left wing groups asserting that was the reason he canceled the trip. Lets start with the Secret Service, do you really think they are going to allow anyone to take a former President into custody without a fight?

Maybe they canceld the trip to avoid a fight? Wouldn't that make sense to you? Did you read the link? Why do you think a left wing group made it up. It is what it is. A case was lodged in Geneva, and the Swizz police would have no choise but to do their duty, so it makes sense to cancel the trip and avoid an international incident.

They won't have a choice. If Bush enters another country, they are obligated by International Law to file charges and prosecute him for violating the UN Convention against Torture that 147 nations are members of. Bush does not have immunity from prosecution, and the Secret Service has no authority to stop Switzerland or any sovereign nation from prosecuting him.

Bush is just the tip of the iceberg. I just wish we could arrest all of them.

The coverage of those who would want him arrested kept him home in shame.

Might be hard to leave on an aircraft that is blocked on the runway.

Obama's presidency has been torture, all right.
