Canadian authorities arrest US president George W. Bush

Paul K. J.

"ICH" -- Ottawa -- Canadian authorities have arrested US president
George W. Bush in Ottawa. He has been charged with several offences
under Canada's War Crimes Act. Vice-President Dick Cheney has mobilized
the American military and all border crossings between the two nations
have closed. Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin has urged for calm in
a short radio and television broadcast to the Canadian people
immediately after the arrest. Part of the Prime Minister's broadcast
is included here:

 "This decision was not made lightly. But, it was also a decision
that was impossible not to make. The United States is not outside the
rule of law, and cannot expect to get an unlimited "free pass".
This decision puts a grave strain upon both our nations, and I urge
calm and restraint from our American neighbours, as well as from
Canadians. I have met with the cabinet, and with our colleagues in the
House. This is a time of great crisis for us as a nation. But as
people, we will survive this test. Earlier I enacted the Emergency War
Powers Act. This is necessary to guarantee our domestic security. This
is not a time for panic, for lawlessness, for anything other than a
responsible and sobre focus on what lies immediately ahead."
Prime Minister Martin also said, "President Bush has been arrested
under the Canadian War Crimes Act and the charges against him are being
processed. He is being treated in accordance with the Geneva Convention
and he will be treated fairly."

Reports from the White House say there is absolute chaos as frantic
phone calls and meetings are held to deal with this crisis.

Speculations on the American response run the

spectrum from one analyst's prediction of an all out American
invasion of Canada to a more restrained pin-point rescue mission of the
President. Whatever course of action is decided upon all experts are in
agreement that the war in Iraq has so weakened the American military
that it could be some days before the United States is ready to field a
large scale military response.

Meanwhile, in New York, the Secretary General of the United Nations
Kofi Anan has urged for calm, and British Prime Minister Tony Blair has
been in almost constant contact with NATO leaders and President Putin
of Russia.

A Britney Spears concert which had been scheduled to occur this evening
in Ottawa has been postponed. A spokesman for the entertainer said that
Ms. Spears was concerned for the President's wife and two daughters.
The spokesman also said that Ms. Spears would be praying for the
president.

President Bush had been due to attend an Ottawa luncheon when the
arrest occurred. Witnesses at the scene said that utter havoc erupted
as the arrest was carried out.

Earlier in the day things seemed to be going smoothly on this first
visit to Canada by President Bush. The President's private jet, Air
Force One had landed at the Ottawa International airport amidst intense
security. Only a few protestors were on hand at the airport to welcome
the President.

Authorities had been expecting moderately sized protests in downtown
Ottawa, but the fine weather and unseasonably warm temperature brought
an estimated three hundred thousand demonstrators out on to the
streets.

>From the airport the President's motorcade drove directly to the
Ottawa Convention Centre.

The moment that President Bush stepped from his limousine a group of
RCMP officers, who had been standing guard, grabbed the President and
proceeded to place him under arrest. A gunfight broke out with the
President's secret service bodyguard. In the short exchange of
gunfire two bystanders were killed and another three slightly wounded
by flying debris. The RCMP were able to quickly subdue the American
agents, and they have been detained in a separate facility. Separate
fire arms related charges are pending.

According to Canadian Justice Department officials the President faces
a lengthy list of offences.

Canada's War Crimes Act was designed to hold foreigners accountable
for their complicity or involvement in a vast array of war crimes.

George Bush is being charged not only as the civilian head of
government of the United States, but also as the commander in chief of
the United States Armed Forces. This position could bring with it even
more serious consequences, but he will not face the death penalty.

Under both Canadian and International War Crimes law George Bush is
being charged with genocide, torture, murder, and the most strong of
all war crimes, the crime of war of aggression.

The United Nations position on the illegality of the Iraq invasion has
been known for sometime, but sceptics believed that the UN would fail
to be able to bring America to account.
