Nobel Prize Winner: 'Bush & Blair Arraigned Before Inter' Criminal Court'
Advertisements [?]
Edited on Wed Dec-07-05 04:35 PM by Broadslidin
In his lecture as winner of this year's
Nobel Prize For Literature received this September,

Harold Pinter has launched a scathing attack
on George W. Bush and Tony Blair.

Quoting from his speech:

he said politicians feel it is
"essential that people remain in ignorance,
that they live in ignorance of the truth,
even the truth of their own lives".

Since World War II, the U.S. government has
"supported and in many cases engendered
every right-wing military dictatorship in the world".
"I refer to Indonesia, Greece, Uruguay, Brazil, Paraguay,
Haiti, Turkey, the Philippines, Guatemala,
El Salvador and, of course, Chile."

(America) "has exercised a quite clinical manipulation
of power worldwide while masquerading as a
force for universal good."

He is calling for President Bush and Prime Minister Blair
to be
"Arraigned before the International Criminal Court of Justice".

And to watch a very intense portion of the lecture:
