5. I wonder how many pairs of shoes it takes...

To get the foul stench of blood off your hands.

[calimary]

8. And whether those shoes are ones she's trying on or those being thrown at her head?

She's a WAR CRIMINAL.

Hey, george! Your precious backstage girl, contradicta, is a WAR CRIMINAL. Just like YOU!!!

[closeupready]

6. LOVE those photos.

[bdamomma]

7. what a day that was!!

Code Pink certainly proved their point!!!

[Joanne98]

9. Really! They did a great job.

[lunatica]

10. "But, but, who would have ever considered it torture?"

[lunatica]

11. photo 1 and 3 show how she looks when she's lying

Her eyebrows go up making her look oh-so-innocent. And her voice gets high, like a little girl's. I've watched her very closely for years, and it's a dead giveaway that she's lying if you listen to what she says when she looks like that. It was the exact same face she put on when she claimed "How could anyone have known they would use planes to crash into buildings"

23. i really didn't know

that she ever told the truth?

13. I hear she has been rehearsing her piano performance of

"Nobody Knows The Trouble I've Seen."

[cascadiance]

20. If it hadn't been for Madeline Albright's father, she'd likely be playing piano all of the time!...

I'm sure that Madeline Albright's feeling that her dad must be turning over in his grave a few times every time we hear more about her complicity with what was going on. Madeline Albright's father was Rice's faculty advisor at Denver U. who steered her away from a music major into international studies then.

I'm still wondering if he'd feel better of my Dad's career than hers (he was also my Dad's faculty advisor there), even if it wasn't as prolific as Rice's. Perhaps my Dad will find out soon, since he's not got too long before he joins Madeline Albright's dad with his alzheimer's condition getting worse.

14. Next up? That PDB that she thought was "historical"

That's Presidential Daily Briefing. You remember the one. It was from Aug. 6, 2001, and was titled "Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States"

CONDOLEEZZA RICE: "...the August 6th PDB was in response to questions of the president -- and that since he asked that this be done. It was not a particular threat report. And there was historical information in there about various aspects of Al Qaida's operations. Dick Clarke had told me, I think in a memorandum -- I remember it as being only a line or two -- that there were Al Qaida cells in the United States. Now, the question is, what did we need to do about that? And I also understood that that was what the FBI was doing, that the FBI was pursuing these Al Qaida cells. I believe in the August 6th memorandum it says that there were 70 full field investigations under way of these cells. And so there was no recommendation that we do something about this; the FBI was pursuing it. I really don't remember, Commissioner, whether I discussed this with the president.

9-11 COMMISSION MEMBER RICHARD BEN-VENISTE: Thank you.

RICE: I remember very well that the president was aware that there were issues inside the United States. He talked to people about this. But I don't remember the Al Qaida cells as being something that we were told we needed to do something about.

BEN-VENISTE: Isn't it a fact, Dr. Rice, that the August 6th PDB warned against possible attacks in this country? And I ask you whether you recall the title of that PDB?

RICE: I believe the title was, Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States. Now, the ...

BEN-VENISTE: Thank you.

16. Add Rice to the cabal of Bush War Criminals.

.....

She verbally agreed to allow the methods to be used on Abu Zubaydah, an al-Qaeda suspect, in July 2002, a Senate report has revealed.
Miss Rice's role in was outlined in a narrative released by the Senate Intelligence Committee as the controversy over alleged torture by the CIA continued to rage.
The information indicates that the programme was approved at the highest levels of the Bush administration.

The new timeline suggests Miss Rice played a more significant role than she acknowledged in written testimony to the Senate Armed Services Committee submitted in the autumn.

.....

Daily revelations about the interrogation programme have followed Mr Obama's decision to release four US Justice Department memos last Thursday.

The memos, running to 126 pages, were written by officials in Mr Bush's Justice Department and contained explicit details of the CIA's methods of extracting information from al-Qaeda suspects between 2002 and 2005.
They revealed that emerged that the highly controversial technique of "waterboarding" had been used 266 times on Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and Abu Zubaydah, two senior al-Qaeda prisoners.

After initially indicating he opposed any prosecutions, on Tuesday he said he was open to congressional investigations of Bush administration officials and possible criminal charges.

According to the new timeline, which compiles legal advice provided by the Bush administration to the CIA, Miss Rice personally conveyed the Bush administration's approval for waterboarding of Zubaydah to George Tenet, then CIA Director, in July 2002.
In the autumn, Miss Rice stated to the Senate Armed Services Committee that she had attended meetings where the CIA interrogation request was discussed but could not recall details.
Days after Miss Rice spoke to Mr Tenet, the Justice Department approved the use of waterboarding in a top secret memo. Abu Zubaydah was subjected to waterboarding some 83 times in August 2002.

17. Kick and rec for Code Pink.

Best. Protest. Pictures. Ever.

[indepat]

18. Hope history treats Condasleasi well and is fair, but my guess is when all the counting is done,

she will go down in history as one of the most loathsome and reprehensible persons to ever grace our national stage or the body politic. Hope to be proven wrong, but if there is a saving grace, it's escaped my attention. :P

[pleah]

21. K&R Bravo! Code Pink!

Those pictures say it all.

[barbtries]

22. i could hardly stand to listen to her

but i can't forget the one hearing where she appeared to get upset and said, "just don't impugn my integrity"

how can you impugn something that is non-existent?

she needs to be in prison.

[ProgressiveFool]

24. I know I shouldn't, but I always feel sorry for Condi

She was in way over her head the whole time, and I bet she did an awful lot of nodding and agreeing, without really knowing what was being discussed. She and Gonzalez are two peas in a pod, both little mediocre sycophants, who had the additional benefit of being token minorities.

Odd that I feel sorry for her, but want to see Gonzalez go to prison.
