Rice outraged over her & Andrea Mitchell's treatment in Sudan

"The reporters were told not to ask questions, over State Department objections." - -Well, Sudan has a ghastly government, but begging Dr. Rice's pardon but it sounds like the US treatment of their own populace, where only "invitees" can question their President.




KHARTOUM, Sudan — Sudanese security officers roughed up members of Condoleezza Rice's entourage Thursday and spoiled the African nation's hopes of showing off a new peace deal and improving a bruised reputation with the United States.

The secretary of state gave Sudan's foreign minister a 90-minute deadline to make a personal apology, and he met it....

The reporters were told not to ask questions, over State Department objections. When NBC diplomatic reporter Andrea Mitchell tried to ask el-Bashir about involvement with alleged atrocities, guards grabbed her and muscled her toward the rear of the room. Other reporters and a camera crew were also pushed out as Rice and el-Bashir watched.

"It makes me very angry to be sitting there with their president and have this happen," Rice told reporters afterward. "They have no right to push and shove."Mitchell, the wife of Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, said later that no one from Sudan had gotten in touch with her to apologize.

You're not ROYALTY for krips sake!

Maybe now you understand how the White House reporters like Helen Thoams feel after the way they are treated.

One might surmise that she may find herself being treated this way more often....the world isn't pleased with her and I'm sure many more heads of state around the globe are applauding the treatment she received.

you are dead meat

so where is the difference ?

:nopity:

:nopity:

They control our media here. She's just saying this crap because they have to keep up the "Liberal media" myth.

the chinese are going to be thier next best friends

Be outraged about the genocide. That is worthy of outrage. Being treated discourteously is not right, but not worthy of "outrage" in the grand scheme of what is going on over there.

Just a heads up Kinda Sleazy.

tell your boyfriend to bomb Sudan back to the Paleozoic era? Shut. The. Fuck. Up.

Anything that upsets her seems to me like a step in the right direction.

And people with buck teeth annoy me. Not sure why, but they just always have.

No one likes you any more...GET IT? You are history. So sorry, but...

That she cant ask tough questions of the leader of a foreign country.Her career is based on NOT asking tough questions.
