Condi Controversy Commences...
Click here for my previous posts on this topic. She will speak at Boston College tomorrow. Should be fun.Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, in Boston, says the Bush administration's actions in Iraq are not in not conflict with Catholic teachings.
"We have overthrown a dictator who brutalized his population.... Sometimes you have to get rid of really, really bad regimes." Rice said at a news conference Sunday on the eve of her commencement address at Boston College.
The Boston Globe said Boston College's announcement that Rice would speak and receive an honorary law degree has divided the Jesuit school. More than 200 members of the faculty have signed a letter penned by two leading theologians, objecting to the college's invitation, the newspaper said.
Some students and faculty are planning silent actions of protest for the ceremony and local peace activists are planning to rally outside the event.
"People have the right to say whatever they wish," Rice said. "That's the great blessing of living in a free country." [source]
