"Nailing Condi"

Participants of the April 3rd Movement, a 1969 group of Stanford students who occupied the Applied Electronics Lab for 9 days in an anti-war protest - returned to the campus 40 years later to post a second petition on the President's door. This one says not to allow Condoleeza Rice teach any classes because of her involvement in the authorization of torture against U.S. law. National Lawyers Guild president Marjorie Cohn lays out the case against former Secretary of State and Stanford Provost, Condi Rice.

@IraqMission Condi chaired the Principals Committee meeting that approved torture.

Later as Secretary of State, Rice deployed powerful advocates against water-boarding such as Philip Zelikow as he told us in the Rachel Maddow interview hosted on YouTube.

There is NO evidence Rice of authorising torture or even attempting to. So you can put your hammer away. Thanks.

I am of the view that water-boarding IS indeed torture and resorting to it makes the CIA appear to me desperate and lame in the extreme.

Rice had NO COMMAND RESPONSIBILITY WHATSOEVER for attempting to authorise water-boarding whilst serving as National Security Advisor. It was not her baby to go do.

The CIA do not take orders from the NSA but from the president. If water-boarding was illegal and unconstitutional even the president had no authority to order it.

The UN Charter affords international legal protections only to NATION states, which serve and answer to but do not violate the nations. Changing outlaw regimes like Saddam's is practically an OBLIGATION for the United Nations and for nation states individually who would defend the rights of the nations.

What, the same "nothing at all" you'd do to stop tyrants taking over the whole world?

There is no academic freedom here in Scotland. We'd be jailed or sectioned for what you are doing but academics here don't look to you peaceniks to free us. Send us the 101st Airborne commanded by Condoleezza Rice.

What did you nail to Saddam Hussein's palace doors when he was breaking every international law? An application to become his lawyer? A salute to "his courage, his strength and his indefatigability"? Or nothing at all?
