An anti-war group is urging Canadian authorities to arrest former Vice President Dick Cheney when he travels to the Toronto Global Forum on Thursday.

The group, Lawyers Against the War, penned a letter to Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair and Ontario Attorney General John Gerretsen saying it was their duty to arrest Cheney “as a person suspected on reasonable grounds of authorizing, counseling, aiding, abetting and failing to prevent torture.” The group campaigns for Cheney — who since leaving office in January 2009 has defended the George W.
