A lawyer might give a better answer, but if the OP flies from Canada to Cuba, theoretically he could announce it on youtube with video saying in-your-face-Bush, and get a cuba stamp on his US passport. He would be in the clear because he was wholly outside US jurisdiction, where US statutes do not apply (as the US was not the departure point).
Yes, but US law still applies when the person returns to the US. The fact that a person is outside the physical jurisdiction of a country does not mean that he or she cannot be in breach of the law of that country...
