Former U.S. President George W. Bush, under fire from human rights group over allegations of ordering torture, has canceled a visit to Switzerland where he was to address a Jewish charity gala.[...]
Criminal complaints against Bush alleging torture have been lodged in Geneva, court officials say, and several human rights groups signaled that they were poised to take further legal action this week.
Swiss officials have said that Bush would still enjoy a certain diplomatic immunity as a former head of state. Leftist groups had also called for a protest on the day of his visit.

[Bush PR statement:] "We didn't want to put people and property in Geneva at risk."
Yeah, right.
Too bad they didn’t keep quiet about it and let him get over there. I don’t suppose the Jewish gala people were trying to lure him into a trap. But what a great idea.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
