  Calling Dr. May and Mr. Buddington
Brattleboro has got more going on than naked kids:
A group in Brattleboro is petitioning to put an item on a town meeting agenda in March that would make Bush and Vice President Cheney subject to arrest and indictment if they visit the southeastern Vermont community.

"This petition is as radical as the Declaration of Independence, and it draws on that tradition in claiming a universal jurisdiction when governments fail to do what they're supposed to do," said Kurt Daims, 54, a retired machinist leading the drive.
I'm going to keep my eye on this one. Aside from the simple fact that towns don't have jurisdiction over war crimes, this could get some international attention. And knowing Brattleboro, they'll adopt the darn thing.
 
Comments:
Has Bush ever been to Vermont? I think Jeffords did more to keep Bush out of Vermont that a toothless petition can do.
 
Why wait till they go to Vermont? Arrest the bastards where they sleep!
 
It would not shock me if in the next couple years the EU files charges against a few administration types - a la Pinochet.
