Last fall, Tina Brown’s new website The Daily Beast delivered a left-hand compliment to Angelina Jolie, “She’s Actually Smart”, based on Jolie’ comments at a Council of Foreign Relations meeting on Darfur.

The Darfur Case

While the tabloids — and even USA Today — have Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt sleeping in separate houses on the 24-acre Seacroft Long Island estate, where Jolie is filming the movie “Salt”, and more than one woman around the world is secretly hoping that the relationship will falter, Jolie was busy last week, writing in TIME magazine, calling for the ouster of Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir.

Seacroft estate; via UK Daily MailSmart Sensuality woman Jolie is furious that al-Bashir, the subject of an International Criminal Court arrest warrant on seven counts of war crimes and five counts of crimes against humanity, kicked out 16 international aid groups from Sudan.

Jolie is concerned — along with George Clooney who visited the Obama White House in Feb. 2009, to make the case for Darfur — that Darfur is disappearing from the news, now called a “low intensity” conflict.
