Richard Dawkins: I will arrest Pope Benedict XVI -Times Online

<applause>

Times Online: RICHARD DAWKINS, the atheist campaigner, is planning a legal ambush to have the Pope arrested during his state visit to Britain “for crimes against humanity”.

Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens, the atheist author, have asked human rights lawyers to produce a case for charging Pope Benedict XVI over his alleged cover-up of sexual abuse in the Catholic church.

The pair believe they can exploit the same legal principle used to arrest Augusto Pinochet, the late Chilean dictator, when he visited Britain in 1998.

David Prowse as Vader

Despite knowing all about Prowse, I’d never actually heard his voice before today. Thank the gods for James Earl Jones!
