There’s a better chance Michael Moore will pass on seconds than the Harper government arresting Bush.

(Reuters) — Amnesty International, the Nobel Prize-winning human rights group, wants former U.S. president George W. Bush arrested and charged with torture when he visits British Columbia next week.

Amnesty officials — armed with reams of documents they say support the incarceration of the former most-powerful man in the world — brushed aside suggestions Wednesday’s news conference was a publicity stunt. They did acknowledge, however, that Justice Minister Rob Nicholson would likely ignore their demands.

“A failure by Canada to take action during his visit would violate the United Nations convention against torture and demonstrate contempt for fundamental human rights,” the group’s Susan Lee said.

An identical request for U.S. authorities to arrest their former leader fell on deaf ears.

Nicholson’s office did not respond for comment.
