Harold Pinter acknowledgement speech

[jahcs]

For a guy that dwells in that area between truth and fiction, even admitting that some things can be both, he sure does put his foot down about what he "knows" to be true - even when many sources disprove his facts.

America may be a guilty party for some of the events shown but the rest of the world allowed many of them to happen too. America is not blameless, things should change. "The enemy of my enemy" is a very dangerous entity - especially in hindsight.

And I know many families and soldiers that would take great offense to:

The 2,000 American dead are an embarrassment. They are transported to their graves in the dark. Funerals are unobtrusive, out of harm's way. The mutilated rot in their beds, some for the rest of their lives. So the dead and the mutilated both rot, in different kinds of graves.

I know several people who were wounded, some greivously, that don't lay in bed waiting to die. They would all give Mr. Pinter a piece of their mind if placed in the same room as him.


EDIT: Well done Occhi, you said some things I was thinking and couldn't phrase, items I didn't have direct knowledge of but "knew," and a few things I just didn't want to get into.
