Rally: Torture is a War Crime, Condoleeza Rice is a War Criminal! 
Rice is a featured speaker at a conference, "SAP World Tour 2009." *** SAP’s agenda says: "Effective Leadership and Global Diplomacy . . . Condoleeza Rice provides a sweeping look at global affairs during her tenure as secretary of state and national security advisor. She shares compelling stories of her experiences, which illuminate the interrelationship of global events and leaders."
"Compelling stories?" "The interrelationship of global events and leaders???????" What wise words, what "illumination," can we expect from a Bush/Cheney official who continues to say that any enhanced interrogation technique including waterboarding is by definition not torture, and therefore not illegal, if it is authorized by the President? For this and more, when Rice was caught on videotape being challenged by students last spring, go here.
Come out to the San Jose Fairmont this Thursday and speak your mind. Be prepared to give a clear message, including to the conference go-ers as well as the press, with clear signs, jumpsuits and other visuals.
