Is it true that George W. Bush and Dick Cheney have arrest warrants
hanging over their heads? We took a look. A courtroom at the International
Criminal Court. A social media meme suggests that George W. Bush and
Dick Cheney could one day end up here. Is that accurate?

Former President George W. Bush and former Vice President Dick Cheney
have been out of office for more than five years, but that doesn’t mean
the rest of the world has forgotten about them. In many countries,
policies that Bush and Cheney spearheaded to fight terrorism continue
to color views of the former United States leaders -- most notably the
opening of the detainee center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and the use of
waterboarding and other "enhanced interrogation" methods that many
consider torture. A reader recently sent us a social media meme that
captured this sentiment. It shows a photograph of the two men, with
the caption, "When I was growing up, I would never have believed that
a former president and vice president of the United States would be
unable to visit Europe due to outstanding warrants."
