Clooney - known as a prominent critic of the Bush government - told the BBC that he had been "nailed" in the American media following his vocal opposition to ongoing conflict in Iraq.

The actor is currently in two Oscar-nominated films, Good Night, And Good Luck and Syriana, which both have a political message.
"I've been nailed in the American press as a traitor to my country because I said we should ask questions before we went to war," he told the BBC.
