From Dave Farber’s IP mailing list:

If you have RealPlayer [and a broadband connection, I might add — FmH], this is worth a listen. It’s Robin Cook’s 11 1/2

minute speech today resigning from the government over the Iraq War. It is

measured, and eloquent, and reminds us again of why England’s is “the Mother

of Parliaments.”

In all the hours we have watched C-Span over the last two years it would be

comforting if one person, either for or against this war, had spoken so

eloquently. Regardless of how you feel about the coming conflict, this is

A-1 political theater.
