Rice on Guantánamo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijEED_iviTA

I took a nap earlier today and can't seem to fall asleep. It's unfortunate because as a night owl, it's hard to get myself to bed at night time sometimes even without the nap. In any event, I turned to my usual source of amusement-- that being Youtube-- and found something interesting. It's almost 3 30 a.m. and I feel like a moron but the video is a MUST-SEE. It's Condoleezza Rice in a somewhat heated argument with a student on the controversial subject of torture at Gitmo (I say "somewhat" because it's more like Rice condescendingly lecturing the poor student. Whoever the guy is, I give him props because he has balls going against someone like her). Mind you, I've always admired Condoleezza and she's one extraordinary and brilliant woman, but the clip is rather disturbing, morbid. Honestly, do yourself a favour and check out the link in the title box.

I've been interested in Gitmo since its nascent stages. For some peculiar reason, all the issues surrounding Gitmo appealed to me because the concept of torture covers a wide spectrum of issues. Not only is it a political issue but it also spills into moral and legal grounds. What do YOU think?? I heard a while ago she signed a deal to write a book... I suppose I'll get it when it comes out...
