An intern asked some tough questions of Former Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice at Stanford University about Abu Ghraib prison, Guantanamo Bay, and torture. I originally titled this article "Condescending Rice" because the clip I saw on TV showed her getting attitude with the intern and making comments such as "do your homework" and "no dear, you're wrong" but after watching the video in its entirety, I see that Secretary Rice was both patient and courteous to the students. Even to the point where an aide tries to get Secretary Rice out of the situation, she says "no, let him finish". An interesting, candid view of her in my opinion. What do you all think?
Yes. She was very gracious, calm, and respectful in her not answering the question of whether or not waterboarding was torture. She is trained to be that way; to defend Bush and skirt around the real questions. She is transparent... I only wish the first kid asking her the questions was a little more aggressive and intelligent. Good link though!
