    I think that Canada should show the moral courage and charge him to show that in today´s world torture should not be tolerated even when is done by USA government.

    Probably not, although it would be a great move imo.

    If threat of prosecution stop him from going to Canada then it will be enough. Most members of previous administration are becoming like prisoners in their country because they are afraid if they go to civilized countries then they can be arrested.

    As they should be, both afraid and put to trial.

    There was an interesting program on TV about how much money he has made after leaving his PM post. It seems he got very well paid for all the blood of English soldiers and Iraqis civilians that he has on his hands. As much as I think he is a scum, he didn´t actively participated in tortures (just giving support) so it will be hard to prosecute him for it.

    How about ordering the invasion of a sovereign state and being complicit in the murder of its head of state? That should be enough.

    Hard evidence is coming to light, connecting the Obama administration and the flow of guns into Mexico.
    This must be the activity my tax dollars are stimulating.
