Wow.......fantastic!!!

That should have been reported on every news channel, and on the front page of every paper. It does your heart good to seem him voice such important, (but often unsaid) points so eloquently.

The trite philosophy at the beginning put me right off, but it picks up about half-way through into an admirable albeit fairly standard polemic against American governments' outrageous abuses of power.

His 'speech' for Bush strikes me as a little bit ham-fisted, though, for such a supposedly great writer.
