| Summary |
"Maybe Angelina Jolie's honey trap could have been the end of Joseph Kony's existence as one of the world's most notorious war lords. Jolie, world-famous superstar of the screen, and the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) Louis Moreno Ocampo, had toyed with the idea of embedding Jolie with US troops in the Central African Republic (CAR). Her presence with the soldiers, so the plot went, would allow her to invite Joseph Kony for dinner. The leader of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) would then, to his surprise, soon learn that he was not in for a date with Jolie. Instead, she would help to arrest him. Even Jolie's then-husband Brad Pitt was to play a role-maybe as a soldier?"-- Provided by publisher |
