NEW YORK (Reuters) - Actor Sean Penn published a 4,000-word open letter in the front section of the New York Times on Friday defending his December trip to Baghdad and criticizing the U.S.-led war on Iraq.

Would someone explain Penn's importance in the world of foreign affairs.

"Am I not an idiot?"

[darkwing104]

So what is new about that? He's just a loser who doesn't know it yet.

[beckett]

I wonder if anybody has posted the entire text online yet. That should be an amusing read.

Sean Penn Defends Baghdad Visit In New York Times Ad

[Archie Bunker on steroids]

Savage is calling it pot induced babble. He thinks he needs to enroll at the local community college for some basic english classes.

I followed the link to the Washington Post but didn't find the whole 4000 word essay. I also looked over a the NYT online and didn't find it.

Where exactly are you saying it appears? I must be missing it.

'We see Bechtel. We see Halliburton. We see Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld," Penn wrote. "We see dead Iraqi civilians. We see no WMDs. We see chaos in the Baghdad streets. But no WMDs. We see the disappearance of a murderous Iraqi dictator, who relented his struggle and ran without the use of WMDs."'

We see Sean Penn, who still looks like a blathering idiot.

Ohhh the NYT ..........I thought this was a real nooooze story. Not contrived by some actor who makes his living telling stories and portraying something he's not now nor never will be short of the loser from fast times at ridgemont high !.

4000 words huh ....any complete sentences or big words ?

Stay Safe !

[OldFriend]

Just what is this blithering idiot's claim to fame?

I can think of many people who would gladly pool their money to send this joker to where he really wants to live...Iraq!

[SixFive175]

Gasp! Sean Penn SMOKES!!!!! And he even allowed himself to be photographed puffing on a 'garette!!!!!

He just committed the 4th worst sin in today's PC climate. Ranked, in descending order, they are:

1. Molesting a child
2. Harming an animal
3. Saying something openly racist
4. Smoking a cigarette

Yes, I know he can afford the $1000/carton going rate, all to help "the children". But still.....

[McGavin999]

I guess he chose the New York Times because he figured the lies wouldn't be noticed.

[Leisler]

Like father, like son. Dad was a Red.

[John Beresford Tipton]

I didn't think he knew 4,000 words.
