British Journalist to Try to Make Citizen's Arrest of John Bolton During U.K. Trip
Wednesday, May 28, 2008
John Bolton may need some additional protection at his speech Wednesday evening in Wales, United Kingdom, as a journalist from the Guardian newspaper plans on making a citizen's arrest of the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.
Bolton is appearing at the Hay Literary Festival in Wales to promote his new book, "Surrender Is Not an Option: Defending America at the United Nations." The Telegraph newspaper reports that George Monbiot wants to arrest Bolton for war crimes as the ambassador prepares to leave the stage.
Monbiot has been pushing his authority to do so, claiming Section 24A of Britain's Serious Organized Crime and Police Act 2005 gives individuals the authority to arrest without a warrant "anyone whom he has reasonable grounds for suspecting to be guilty" of an offense.
He argues that Bolton helped plan the war in Iraq when he was undersecretary of state for arms control at the State Department, using information he knew to be false.

Bolton needs to knock his crazy head off.
I don’t know what shape he is in, but Bolton isn’t a small man, so this might be interesting if the journalist is thinking about physically detaining him.
Bolton needs to knock his crazy head off.
As soon as the nut comes up, hit him with a face full of mace. Taser his ass for good measure if he doesn’t go running immediately with his tail between his legs.
Agreed . This would be a perfect time for such a citizen's escape .
“John Bolton may need some additional protection...”
Unlikely.
I’ve got 5 to 1 odds this “activist/journalist” is just another British media soft boy.
Monbiot’s a pudgy little wanker.
If John McCain ever truly had a political spine instead of still being a profound wuss, then he could pick John Bolton as his final choice for VP and then really upset the worldwide MSM! This is truly the strangest election where both the Republican Party and “U.S. conservatism” (during the next Congress and after the Fairness Doctrine is truly fully implemented and illegal immigrants are legally allowed to vote in all future U.S. elections) are at risk for total collapse.
My money is on John Bolton
I hope for Bolton as next SecState.
This is obviously a totally objective and unbiased JOURNALIST.
Sheesh, does it never end?
MM
Bolton is outrageous, but he is a private citizen of the USA and allowed to travel etc.
Liberalism is a mental disease.
You disagree with Bolton? On what? What's outrageous about him?
George Monbiot?.................George MOONBAT!......
Yes. So?
I was thinking the same thing.
I also asked on what issues you disagree with him.
I don’t consider disagreement to be something bad, but would like to know the details...
