NZ students offer cash for "arrest" of U.S.'s Rice
A group of New Zealand students has come up with a novel way of protesting against a visit by U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, offering a cash reward for her "arrest" over U.S. actions in Iraq.

The Auckland University Students' Association has offered NZ$5,000 ($3,700) for any student making a citizen's arrest of Rice during her 36-hour stay that starts later on Friday.

"It's primarily symbolic, but it's a protest against her actions as secretary of state in Iraq and the authorization of the torture of suspected terrorist detainees," said the student body's president, David Do.

3. Why, because justice means something to them?
Sure, it's only a symbolic gesture, but I think they have the right idea.

4. Hope it happens and causes an international incident.
Has anyone noticed how Cunnilingus Rice is out of the country all the time. :dem:
