VIDEOS-- Condi Rice: "If it was authorized by the president, it did not violate our obligations under the conventions against torture."

Despite million of murders by Nazis, Condi Rice, "with all due respect", insists that Nazis were less of a threat to the U.S. than al Qaeda:


"No dear, you're wrong. We didn't torture anyone... Do your homework." Rice goes on to shut the student up, interrupting him, and resumes rattling on her version of the facts. "By the way, I didn't authorize anything."

Speaking with a group of Stanford students Monday, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice declared that al Qaeda is a greater threat to the United States than Nazi Germany was because Germany "never attacked the homeland of the United States." In a defensive exchange with a student, she also insisted that the Bush administration had always wanted to hold trials for detainees, but the Supreme Court wouldn't let them.

Of course, the Supreme Court "stayed" the Bush administration's military commissions because they were woefully inadequate.
The most chilling quote (around 6:07): "We were told: Nothing that violates our obligations under the conventions against torture. And so, by definition, if it was authorized by the president, it did not violate our obligations under the conventions against torture."
