America can now relax; a Dutch court has decided not to throw President Bush in the clink.
THE HAGUE (AFP) - A court in The Hague turned down a demand by a dozen plaintiffs who wanted to force the Dutch government to arrest US President George W. Bush when he visits the Netherlands Saturday, the judgement made public said. ...
The plaintiffs, mostly left-wing organisations and activists [...curiously unnamed in this AFP report. —ed.], accused Bush of “numerous grave violations of the Geneva Conventions”. They also said the president is responsible for the deaths of civilians in Afghanistan and Iraq and Washington’s refusal to recognize the International Criminal Court (ICC), the world’s first permanent war crimes court.
