17. I would call it her choice based on information on don't know

For example, we have no idea whether she and/or the State Department have an worked out arrangements with the Italian government to ensure she's under no threat of arrest on her trip.

But calling a woman you don't know stupid because she is doing something under circumstances that you know little or nothing about is beyond the pale.

Considering she doesn't know you (or me, for that matter) from Adam, what we think of her matters nothing to her. But I still think it's a rather nasty thing to say
