From 911Encyclopedia:
On December 10th 2002, more than 100 celebrities, including Kim
Basinger, Matt Damon, Ethan Hawke, Samuel L. Jackson and Jessica
Lange, have urged President Bush to avoid a war with Iraq in a
letter. The letter, also signed by a retired admiral and a former
U.S. envoy to Iraq, was co-founded by the group called "Artists United
To Win Without War." http://www.moveon.org/artistswinwithoutwar/ In
addition to the celebrities, the letter was signed by retired admiral
Eugene Carroll Jr and Former U.S. ambassador to Iraq Edward Peck. The
anti-war letter followed a similar message put together by Farrell
against a plan to bury nuclear waste at Nevada's Yucca Mountain. Stars
including Alec Baldwin, Tim Robbins, Barbra Streisand and Harry
Belafonte signed that letter. Sources:
