TONY BLAIR NOMINATED FOR A WAR CRIMES TRIAL BY NOBEL LAUREATE HAROLD PINTER

Everybody knows how detested George Bush and the freaks around him are throughout the world (not counting the Confederacy and Utah), but Tony Blair ain't all that popular either. According to yesterday's GUARDIAN, Nobel laureate Harold Pinter used the occasion of his Nobel acceptance speech to call for Tony Blair, who he referred to as "pathetic and supine," to be tried as a war criminal. "The invasion of Iraq was a bandit act, an act of blatant state terrorism demonstrating absolute contempt for the concept of international law," said the much-admirer 75 year old playwright. "The invasion was an arbitrary military action inspired by a series of lies upon lies and gross manipulation of the media and therefore of the public ... a formidable assertion of military force responsible for the death and mutilation of thousands and thousands of innocent people. We have brought torture, cluster bombs, depleted uranium, innumerable acts of random murder, misery, degradation and death to the Iraqi people, and call it 'bringing freedom and democracy to the Middle East'." Sounds very familiar, doesn't it?
