Well this is not surprising but a disappointment nonetheless. As the former columnist at the NYT Bob Herbert put it: "Superwoman who just happens to get everything wrong". Whenever I see her I think of non-existent mushroom clouds. Thank you for nothing.

Sec. Rice should be facing a UN Tribunal (or, at the very least, be completely ostracized), but instead Stanford's President is breathlessly singing her praises as a "strategic thinker" while he places her in one of the cushiest jobs imaginable.

And for what? Her lies led to the deaths of thousands of young American soldiers and destabilized the Middle East for the rest of our lifetimes. Even her record as Stanford Provost was unimpressive.

Rice at least is a strategic thinker that fits well in HOOVER's stable of conservative scholars. Having been Secretary of State does give her some impressive credentials for an academic, working on foreign policy academic studies.

Now - I, as a Berkeley alum, would first like having the Berkeley Law professor, who wrote the Bush Administration legal letter ALLOWING PHYSICAL TORTURE / waterboarding / under the guise of 'enhanced interrogation.... now he needs an International War Crimes Tribunal! {ICC / International Criminal Court}

"Rice at least is a strategic thinker that fits well in HOOVER's stable of conservative scholars."

Oh? I thought they were better than that. Are they also war criminals?

Under oath:

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

RICE. I believe the title was Bin Laden Determined To Attack Inside the United States. Now, the P.D.B. ....

.... It was historical information based on old reporting. There was no new threat information. And it did not, in fact, warn of any coming attacks inside the United States.

She led us into the Iraq War.

She should retire.

"it did not, in fact, warn of any coming attacks inside the United States"
"Bin Laden Determined To Attack Inside the United States"

Go away. You're a great pianist, just retire and enjoy your ill-gotten gains.
