Condoleezza Rice book tour comes to Grand Rapids Wednesday: Will be confronted by protestors

On Wednesday, former National Security Advisor and Secretary of the State, Condoleezza Rice will be in Grand Rapids to speak at the Kent GOP’s annual Lincoln Day Dinner.

The former Secretary of State will be greeted by protestors, which are connected to the Grand Rapids Occupy movement. According to a facebook event page, people will gather at 4pm at Monument Park in downtown Grand Rapids and then march to the convention center where Rice is scheduled to speak.

The group wants to bring attention to various war crimes that Rice was complicit in during her years in the Bush administration.

According to the online source War Criminals Watch, Rice is guilty of the following war crimes:

• Crime against peace – planning and carrying out a war of aggression.
• Complicity in the commission of a war crime – wanton destruction of cities and villages, devastation not justified by military necessity, ill-treatment of civilian population of or in occupied territory.
• Complicity in the commission of a war crime – torture, ill-treatment of detainees.

Condoleezza Rice has been confronted for her war crimes and crimes against humanity while in the Bush administration and since then on numerous occasions. In 2009, Rice was confronted by students and faculty at Stanford University, where the former Secretary of State once taught. Rice has also been confronted by the feminist anti-war group CodePink. Here is a video of a Code Pink action confronting Condoleezza Rice.
