Rice faces silent protest in Boston

BOSTON (Reuters) - Dozens of faculty and students turned their backs and waved protest signs when U.S. Secretary of State
Condoleezza Rice received an honorary degree from Boston College on Monday.

But the protest against Rice, a central player in President George W. Bush's Iraq policy, was smaller than had been expected and those among the 25,000 crowd who gave her a standing ovation outnumbered those who sat in silence. ...

"We've spent the last four years learning how to appreciate and work for social harmony, and to have a woman who is part of an administration that has launched a very unjust war, it's just outrageous," said Emily Jendzejec, 22, one of about 60 students who turned their backs on Rice. Like dozens of students, Jendzejec wore a protest armband and sticker on her graduating robe reading "Not in my name."

At one point, a propeller plane flew overhead dragging a sign saying: "Your war brings dishonor." About 100 protesters outside chanted "Stop the Lies. Troops out now" and waved placards including one reading "No degrees for terrorism."

Oh yeah, that's right. :sarcasm:
She said the student's and faculty had every right to exercise free speech because;
"what would it be like if they lived under Saddam Hussain?" (paraphrasing)

Oh I almost forgot. The night before, in an interview, she said;

"We did the RIGHT THING!" (invading Iraq) :grr:
