Condi Rice Schools a College Punk

She nailed him to the floor. Whoever this kid was he was filled with generalities and naivete.
Some highlights:
“You don’t have the luxury in foreign policy of saying ‘alright I won’t deal with that country because I don’t like its human rights record.’”
“Foreign policy is full of tough choices, very tough choices. The world is not a bunch of easy choices in which you get to make ones that always feel good.”
“(We did) nothing that violates our obligations against torture. By definition, if it was authorized by the president it did not violate our obligations against torture.” (as defined by the Justice Department)

Good stuff. It would be interesting if public schools actually taught critical thinking skills instead of simply providing indoctrination services.
Whoever this kid was he was filled with generalities and naivete.

He also had that whiny, nasal voice so prevalent among the smug, know-it-all leftist guys on campus.
Of course, she is correct: water-boarding is NOT a near-drowning technique- the subject is never in danger of drowning.
And water-boarding is NOT torture- there is no physical harm to the subject.
This snarky student was a typical righteous but poorly informed Obot, with sweeping generalizations and “knows” an awful lot of stuff that isn’t true.
Condi did the right thing in the now defunct War on Terror, and has nothing to hide. She doesn’t take any crap about it from some college kid, either… maybe he wasn’t aware she was drawn from the world of academia, and is familiar with his type.

Andrew Sullivan is in a hissy fit about Condi. Too bad, so sad.
You have to love it when someone who, was educated at a University and Kieth Olberman, has the temerity to question the former Secretary of State of the United States. That’s how right he thought he was.
It is hard to ignore the young interviewer’s closed mind and sense of superiority, believing that all of the information he was taught in school and on MSNBC was correct.
I worry about our future.
considering most of her facts were wrong i would say Condi got schooled
….and you forgot this part she said
“And so, by definition, if it was authorized by the president, it did not violate our obligations under the Conventions Against Torture”
sounds like some weird fascist state, not america
see Nixon / Frost for a historical perspective
