Canadians Seek Dick Cheney's Arrest For War Crimes During Upcoming Visit

13. From the Toronto Star, THREE HOURS AGO (Trip Going Ahead!)

The malign Dick Cheney is in Toronto this week, having apparently conquered his fear of Canada and the anti-torture protests that made him cancel an April speech last year-end. I don’t know how another war criminal has made it across our border — Kissinger visits often — but there Cheney will be on Halloween at noon, speaking to the Toronto Forum of the International Economic Forum of the Americas in the glassy erotic climes of the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.

What ho! Blood will run from the taps. A sudden chill will envelop the city.

There had been worries. “God forbid there was ever a [health] emergency,” his speech booker said of the April cancellation, given that the last time Cheney was in Canada, he had had to hide inside for simply hours from Vancouver anti-torture demonstrators.

Did he think they were going to shoot him in the face? Cheney himself shot a 78-year-old man in the face in 2006 (the victim apologized) and in this country, he’d be in jail for that. Cheney does not get us. Canadian anti-torture demonstrators are usually hooded and kneeling because they know full well that violence would destroy the point they’re making. They don’t even throw pies. Cheney Halloween masks are fun though.
