Bianca Jagger quotes about
President Bush should be indicted and should be driven out of office. He should be sent back home in Texas.
George W. Bush and his administration embarked on a full-scale assault on civil liberties, human rights and the rule of law, walking away from his international obligations, tearing up international treaties, protocols and UN conventions.
I find it disturbing that the media keeps referring to my marriage, since I got divorced in 1979. But the media never wants to let me forget.
Live interviews are more difficult to distort.
I think for the U.S. government the Sandinistas represented a threat to their dominance of Latin America.
Bradley Manning is an American hero.
A man who gets divorced is not forever going to be talked about for it. There are very different standards that we have for women than we have for men.
Bush and Blair combined their efforts to deceive both nations in a carefully coordinated manner, more so than anyone is willing to point out in the media.
Tony Blair has turned his back on the principles he claimed he believed in before he stood shoulder-to-shoulder with George W. Bush. He was an entirely different kind of leader.

Americans need to understand the significance of having their civil liberties dismantled. It doesn't just affect terrorists and foreigners, it affects us all.
I am closer to a European viewpoint of the world than an American one. My ethics and ideals are based on European concepts.
In Nicaragua, liberty, equality and the rule of law were the stuff of dreams. But in Paris I discovered the value of those words.
There is a question for which we will never know the answer: had the U.S. not launched the Contra war to overthrow the Sandinista government, would they have succeeded in bringing socioeconomic justice to the people of Nicaragua?
