George Clooney was arrested today during a Sudanese Embassy protest. Interestingly, Clooney was protesting a situation that was his own making. Originally, Clooney and other activists like him were demanding Sudanese President al-Bashir, be taken to the International Criminal Court (ICC) for war crimes. This pissed off al-Bashir who then kicked out the humanitarian aid workers from Sudan, because they were the ones providing evidence to the ICC. This left the Sudanese people without this much needed aid. The reason Clooney was protesting today (and got arrested) was because he was protesting al-Bashir’s decision to kick out the aid workers. It’s a sad cycle.
Maybe if Clooney listened to competing Sudan activists and commentators (such as Julie Flint, who argued that the ICC is not the way to go, but quieter diplomacy, and patient mediation would have better results) the Sudanese would still have aid workers, peace in the Sudan would be a bit closer, and he wouldn’t have been in teh position to be arrested today.
I’ve discussed the problems with Clooney’s Save Darfur campaign previously.

How hard is it to say, “Sorry, I didn’t know?”
Honestly, that’s all it fucking takes.

Viola has signed on to two new projects: a sci-fi thriller called Enders Game & a supernatural thriller called Beautiful creatures.
I think one might be an actual lead role.
