Pinter demands war crimes trial for Blair
London Guardian/David Fickling | December 8 2005
The Nobel prize-winning playwright Harold Pinter has called for Tony Blair
to be tried for war crimes, in his acceptance speech to the
The 5,000-word speech excoriates the US government over Guanta´namo Bay and
its attempts to destabilise Nicaragua in the 1980s.
But he saves his most savage comments for the UK, described
as "pathetic and supine" and a "bleating little lamb" tagging along
behind the US in its support for the Iraq war.
terrorism demonstrating absolute contempt for the concept of
international law," he said.
"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'."
The 75-year-old will not be attending Saturday's award ceremony at
the Swedish Academy in Stockholm because of poor health. He will be sending
his publisher, Stephen Page, in his place to receive the 10m kroner prize.
But the author of The Caretaker and The Birthday Party has recorded
a video of himself reading the speech, looking frail in a wheelchair
with a red blanket over his legs.
In recent years he has been treated for cancer, and appeared with a
bandaged head earlier this year when it was announced that he had
been awarded the prize.
One of the original "angry young men" who revolutionised British
theatre in the 1950s, he has lost none of his fury in the speech.
"How many people do you have to kill before you qualify to be
described as a mass murderer and a war criminal? One hundred
thousand? More than enough, I would have thought," he said.
"Therefore it is just that Bush and Blair be arraigned before the
international criminal court of justice. But Bush has been clever.
He has not ratified the international criminal court of justice ...
"But Tony Blair has ratified the court and is therefore available
for prosecution. We can let the court have his address if they're
interested: it is Number 10, Downing Street, London."
He also discusses his early plays, the creative process, and the
ambiguity of language.
Beginning with a 1958 quote in which he claims that "a thing is not
necessarily either true or false", he says that sometimes a writer
has toescape questions about the uncertainty of truth and stand up
for what they think is right.
"I believe that these assertions still make sense and do still apply
to the exploration of reality through art
"So as a writer I stand by them, but as a citizen I cannot. As a
citizen I must ask: what is true, what is false?"
