Many in Europe think that Condi Rice is a damn torturing liar
http://www.nytimes.com/2005/12/07/international/europe/07react.html?ei=5094&en=b050a23c444c2311&hp=&ex=1134018000&adxnnl=1&partner=homepage&adxnnlx=1133953515-gfehcPbyVVgmuovwb83fXQ

Did anybody believe her on this continent, aroused as rarely before by a raft of reports about secret prisons, C.I.A. flights, allegations of torture and of "renditions," or transfers, of prisoners to third countries so they can be tortured there?

"Yes, I did," Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg, a conservative member of the German Parliament, said in a telephone interview on Tuesday. "The thing I believe is that the United States does obey international law, and Mrs. Merkel said that she believes it too."

Not everybody here is of that view, to say the least. Indeed, it would be hard to imagine a more sudden and thorough tarnishing of the Bush administration's credibility than the one taking place here right now. There have been too many reports in the news media about renditions - including one involving an Lebanese-born German citizen, Khaled el- Masri, kidnapped in Macedonia in December 2003 and imprisoned in Afghanistan for several months on the mistaken assumption that he was an associate of the Sept. 11 hijackers - for blanket disclaimers of torture to be widely believed.

"I think what she means is, 'We don't use it as an official way to do things, but we don't look at what is done in other countries,' " Monika Griefahn, a Social Democratic member of Parliament, said in regard to Ms. Rice's comment on torture. "And that's the problem for us."

---------thanks kkkondi, you and all your smiling torturing buddies have made america into a fucking 5th world nation filled with psychopaths and assholes in the eyes of the world, we just can't thank you enough bitch.

5. Condi Rice is a damn torturing liar;
Yes sir that is correct.

She is also a Fascist in favor of a Police State in Amerika.

“You can’t allow somebody to commit the crime before you detain them, because if they commit the crime, thousands of innocent people die,” Condoleezza Rice

7. And I agree this Condi (Biyatch) Rice is a lying peice of shit
This ugly bitch is holding that position of the Secretary of State only because she has the capability to convert Bush's incoherent rants of lies into conneving and well crafted lies. Other than that she has zero credibility, zero respect from anyone. She is worse than the lowest class of hookers on the street of Washington DC.
