'Sean Penn: The arrogant, the misguided, and the cowards'

[thepurpose]

In a statement written in preparation for anti-war demonstrations planned in over 190 cities this Thursday, Actor Sean Penn has assailed "the arrogant, the misguided, and the cowards" who "argue that an immediate pull-out of our troops from Iraq would inspire lack of confidence and the lost credibility of the United States."

"President Bush and his functionaries indeed have lost enormous credibility for the perception of our country internationally," wrote Penn, in a statement read by actor Mark Ruffalo on Monday night at Cooper Union in New York City.

The World Can’t Wait—Drive Out the Bush Regime emergency meeting was held in response to passage of the torture bill.

"Perhaps more damaging than that, they have created the greatest cultural, religious, and political divide domestically since our own Civil War," Penn wrote.
