Sean Penn takes out anti-war ad
(Entertainment Index, October 21, 2002)
Actor Sean Penn on Friday weighed in on the international debate over a possible war with Iraq, paying for a $56 000 advertisement in the Washington Post accusing President Bush of stifling debate and threatening civil liberties. . . . "I beg you, help save America before yours is a legacy of shame and horror," Penn wrote, echoing voices of caution from around the world that have called for a measured response to allegations Iraq is developing weapons of mass destruction. . . . Penn (42), said Bush was marginalising critics, manipulating the media and promoting fear. . . . Those actions and "your administration's deconstruction of civil liberties all contradict the very core of the patriotism you claim," wrote Penn.
