A War Criminal's Welcome for Dick Cheney

by murray bush - flux photo

VANCOUVER - Noisy, determined opponents of torture surrounded the staid Vancouver Club tonight while self-confessed torturer Dick Cheney entertained wealthy Vancouverites inside at $500 a head. Cheney was flogging his memoirs approving flogging "war on terror" suspects.

Those who wanted to rub shoulders with the US war criminal had to run the gauntlet of human rights advocates crying 'shame' under the protection of the always pushy Vancouver police. Protesters called for Cheney's immediate deportation and for the police to "do their job" and arrest him for war crimes.

Check out the VMC video coverage of the protest.

Everyone is a sage and leftist until they get attacked.Cheney indirectly protected Canadians post 9/11 as their were no attacks on N.A. soil. Remember over 20 Canadians died on 9/11 and I would take him any day to protect my way of life. Compared to the likes of jack-strap layton et al.
