Nobel Prize

Harold Pinter, the Nobel Prize winner for literature 2005 is Vice Chairman of the International Committee to Defend Slobodan Milosevic (ICDSM). http://www.icdsm.org/files/members.htm

For those who don't remember Slobodan Milosevic is the former President of Serbia and then Yugoslavia who after the Kosovo war was indicted by the International Criminal Tribunal for war crimes (including genocide) committed against Croats, Bosnians and Kosovo Albanians. As a consequence of his policies of ethnic cleansing in former Yugoslavia, a quarter million people were killed, hundrends of thousands others wounded and over three million people were forced to leave their homes.

The decision of the Swedish Academy of Sciences really makes you think. What is going on with them?
