Beneath a blustery wind, about 60 protesters huddled Friday in Pioneer Park, cheering on speaker after speaker who excoriated former President George W. Bush as a "war criminal."

"The guy’s a crook and shouldn’t be out running around, man," said West Valley City’s Randy Carlsen.

In downtown Salt Lake City, the tone was decidedly more hostile. Signs declaring "Torture Stains Everyone," "Worst President Ever" and "Arrest Bush" waved as freeway-bound cars honked.

The "Rally for Accountability" was organized by former Mayor Rocky Anderson, who staged much larger protests during Bush’s previous visits to the Beehive State. Despite both men being out of office, the message was far from muted.

"We and the entire world know that George Bush is a war criminal," yelled Anderson, now the executive director of the nonprofit High Road for Human Rights. Until Bush is brought to justice for authorizing torture, Anderson declared, "the stench of his presidency will hang over our great country."
