"Before the emergence of these ordinary America heroes, the trend had already been set in the Middle East and Europe. On Nov 16 after the police cleared Zucotti Park, writer and activist Arundhati Roy spoke at the People's University in Washington Square Park: "Few of us dreamed that we would see you, the people of the United States on our side, trying to do this in the heart of Empire.

Claiming to represent humanity's collective conscience
"3. (U) Drawing its legitimacy from what it called the
"collective conscience of humanity," the WTI was inspired in
part by the 1966-67 Russell Tribunal, formed by British
pacifist Bertrand Russell to examine conduct of U.S. forces
in Vietnam at that time. While that tribunal was criticized
for being one-sided and ignoring atrocities committed by the
Viet Cong, it was able to draw big-name tribunal members,
including Jean Paul Sartre, Lazaro Cardenas and Stokely
Carmichael. The current WTI effort, also criticized for
ignoring the illegal actions of the Saddam regime in its
deliberations, has a lesser-known roster of supporters,
outside of Roy, who won the 1997 Booker Prize for her novel
"The God of Small Things."
