Activists Look for Arrest of Bush, Cheney
by Paul H. Heintz


BRATTLEBORO, Vt. - When then Vice President George H. W. Bush visited Brattleboro 23 years ago, he was greeted by protesters who booed and heckled him.1229 04

But if his son ever comes to town, some residents hope to present the sitting president with an even less friendly reception: a pair of handcuffs and a jail cell.

“We’re planning to arrest, detain and extradite him,” said Kurt Daims of Brattleboro, an activist who has sought to impeach President George W. Bush and is now trying to up the ante. “There’s a fundamental question here. If Congress doesn’t do this, shouldn’t it be done anyway?”

Daims hopes to gather the 440 signatures necessary to place an article on the Town Meeting warning that would call for the Brattleboro Police Department to arrest Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney and cart them off to unspecified foreign entities.

“Shall the Selectboard instruct the Town Attorney to draft indictments against President Bush and Vice President Cheney for crimes against our Constitution, and publish said indictment for consideration by other municipalities?” Daims’ proposed article reads.

“And shall it be the law of the Town of Brattleboro that the Brattleboro Police, pursuant to the above-mentioned indictment, arrest and detain George Bush and Richard Cheney in Brattleboro and extradite them to other authorities that may reasonably contend to prosecute them.”

1. Recommended. The Town of Brattleboro warmed my heart this evening.

I am having visions that literally melt away all the suffering I've witnessed over the last several years.

I think I'll just allow myself the liberty to imagine such justice, without interference, for a moment.

4. Hey, proud2Blib,...what was the outcome of that Code Pink 'lady',...

,...who held up her faux bloody hands before Condi?

I've thought about her, a lot. She was charged with some rather serious stuff.

Do you know?

6. I don't think she has been to trial yet

When she was arraigned, the judge told her to stay out of DC. And she is looking at possible jail time.
