Angelina Jolie Spotlights Child Soldiers

Thanks Jared for the new thread.

I am so proud of Angie and all the great things she is doing. She is a great humantarian and an awesome human being. She is truly an amazing woman and an inspiration to me. WTG Angie, do your thing

so proud to be an Angie Fan,great woman love her.
Can’t wait for tomorrow ;-)

Why is she there? She doesn’t add anything to this case, what this guy has done is horrible and I am glad he is on trial, but Angie needs to realize that she uses her own children to satisfy her craving for constant attention. She is the worse kind of hypocrite.

Thanks for spotlighting this Jared. You’re still my go-to guy for all things Brangelina!!

I totally admire this lady. She could be at Cannes early sitting by the poolside but instead she is doing something that really matters.

She is so amazing. No wonder BP loves her so much.

has angelina had a bit of a new tattoo added on her forearm above the roman numeral’s tatt, or is that pen mark or something?

Who cares ?

Her partner becomes Father again from a sudanese Model ! You can’t stop it, Jolie.

thank you thank you i will always a your great fan….
i love you

She is so great! And I think she added something new to her forearm tattoo :)

@Melissa:Craving for constant attention ?She hasn’t been to a public event since the Oscars and only because she was a nominee. She is a UN ambassador , most of these former soldiers are refugees. Your hatred toward her is pathetic. She is not promoting a movie Salt comes out in 2010. I guess if she was shopping or sunbathing on her break you would respect her

BRAD PITT:

WHO’S PARTNER BECAME A PARENT AGAIN.???
FROM SUDANESE MODEL!

So today I woke up around eight and started getting ready to go to the ICC. It’s quite an interesting endeavor to start going in the direction of something when you have no idea where you are going. So I started with buying a ticket to the Hague, and then getting on the train. I first got off at the Central station, and found the nearest tourist/map shop. There I was introduced to a very nice shop owner who not only sold me the map but also made sure I knew exactly how to get to the ICC, and he gave me a taste of the Hague (that’s what he called it). It was a little hard candy that tasted like coffee. It was just that extra boost I needed to head off to the ICC. (mental note to go back and buy the bags of the coffee candy…delicious) So I went back to central station and got on the train to Voorburg. Voorburg is another part of the Hague where the ICC is located. After getting off the train I started looking around…the shop owner said to look for the white building. Luckily it wasn’t far. Less than a block away was a formidible white building which exuded justice. It really did. It just looked like the ICC. As I got closer it really looked like the ICC with all the tall fences and special security. Today I thought it would be nice to get introduced to the ICC by simply just going to the hearings. I went to the hearing and as I was led into the visitor room I was instructed between the V.I.P. areas and the “common” areas and the witness areas. I took a seat on what ended up being the V.I.P. row. oops. One thing I do here is I always scan the room and check out what shoes people are wearing. So I looked to my left and saw a wonderful pair of black stilettos. Immediately I thought American…or foreigner at the very least, but the woman’s profile was gorgeous and it reminded me of Angelina Jolie. She seemed to be immaculately put together and I was quite surprised when during the private sessions (when the witness chooses not to have his answers broadcasted to the audience) she spoke French to her collegues. Yet there was still that distinct American accent. The witness was discussing the torture methods in the training camps, torture methods which were applicable to both adult and child soldiers within the UPC. Some of the things which were described were not even fathomable to me. They would also periodically show the face of the accused. At times, when the answers directly incriminated him you could see in his eyes a fire and a passion that I’m not sure I’ve ever seen before. Someone who was pleased with his torture methods and someone who felt little remorse. It was written all over his face in those moments. Yet there were also moments of just routine military discussion in which you saw a different side to him. A relaxed presence which could send chills down your spine because of his nonchalant demeanor suggesting he had done no wrong. After the incriminating testimony was given which suggested the perpetrator’s role in war crimes against children the woman sitting just a few seats down on my left got up to leave. I looked over to wish those wonderful shoes goodbye and I notice the petite figure which was supported by those shoes and that it was Angelina Jolie! She is much more beautiful in person than in any magazine or interview. If that’s what she looks like in print then she is not very photogenic. Now it all made sense why she was wearing ridiculous shoes and each of her hairs was in a perfect pony tail. She is also much more petite than I imagined her to be. I was a little star struck to say the least. But alas the trial was to continue and I was to hear more testimony of war crimes committed by the UPC.
Following the recess I went to check if I could just walk into the building…definite not. Apparently it’s pretty uber secure. So then I decided to go back in the the city centrum and get some food along with getting the next train back to Leiden. So now I’m here in Leiden. Completely amazed at my day. Oh and I almost forgot to mention. I have made some contacts to interview later this week. Success.
