Oh those naughty playwrights
I hate to confess this (I'm going to get myself in a hole here, I know it) but I had thought that Harold Pinter died two years ago. I am very glad to know he's alive and fighting for the right side (not that that surprises me). My favorite quotes by or about Pinter from the last week or so include:

" At one protest, for example, author Harold Pinter called Bush and Blair "liars, God-fearing Christians and murderers," and compared U.S. policies with those of the Nazis." (courtesy of Rocky Mountain News)

"Playwright and political activist Harold Pinter derided political odd-couple Bush and Blair as liars.
"No nation has ever been so detested as the U.S. today," he said. "The U.S. is the rogue state par excellence."" (courtesy of Reuters

"After landing at Stansted yesterday, he [German protestor Maik Neudorf] made his way to the offices of the Stop The War Coalition next to King's Cross. Workers there were busy arranging a bottle of white wine for Harold Pinter ("It's got to be a bottle of dry white - Chablis or Sancerre," one volunteer said), who spoke last night at one of the group's rallies."
