An arresting performance

Hot on the heels of Russell Brand's run-in with the law - which basically involves a broken window and a paparazzo who no longer has a working iPhone - we have another actor who's been nicked by the rozzers.  The guilty party here is George Clooney, though he would have been unsurprised at the outcome. He and other like minded souls were protesting outside the Sudanese embassy in Washington DC over the marked reluctance of those in charge of that country to pass on food aid to refugees.  Using his celebrity to shine a light on leaders who will not relish the extra attention is a shrewd act from a star who is brighter (in every way) than most of his kind.
