Harold Pinter's Nobel Prize speech

In case you haven't seen or read it, here's the link to Harold Pinter's Nobel Prize acceptance speech. You can read the transcript or see the video.

In his speech, Pinter discusses his beginnings as a writer and his artistic method. But most of the speech consists of a eloquent and hard-hitting critique of U.S. foreign policy since 1945, from an artist who has been very politically engaged for most of the 60 years since that time. So be warned.
