UNICEF: Belafonte Spoke As Private Citizen
Mon Jan 9, 8:54 PM ET

UNITED NATIONS - The U.N. children's agency said singer Harry Belafonte was speaking as a private citizen, not a UNICEF goodwill ambassador, when he called President Bush "the greatest terrorist in the world."

The 78-year-old Belafonte, famous for his calypso-inspired music, made headlines during a trip to Venezuela when he spoke out against Bush and said millions of Americans support the socialist revolution of Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez.

The U.S. Fund for UNICEF said in a statement that Belafonte — a UNICEF goodwill ambassador since 1987 — made the comments "as a private citizen and was not speaking as a UNICEF ambassador, nor acting in an official capacity on behalf of the organization."

During a television broadcast, Belafonte told Chavez, "No matter what the greatest tyrant in the world, the greatest terrorist in the world, George W. Bush says, we're here to tell you: Not hundreds, not thousands, but millions of the American people ... support your revolution."

1. I thought he was just the recruiter

But he sure has done something to our environment, deficit, middleclass, education, etc.

2. Good Lord.

What a gruesome photo. I was reading your text, when suddenly Bush's eyes started to move.....creepy.

I agree with Belafonte: Bush is the world's biggest terrorist.

4. I agree with Belafonte as well

Abduction, torture, murder, assassins...

He openly said he felt a dictatorship would make his job easier.

3. In my youth I thought Harry was a dope and uncool...

akin to music my parents listened to. Now I understand how ignorant youth can be. Too bad Harry never ran for office.
