US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice Friday laughed shrugged off a reward for her arrest as a war criminal announced by disaffected university slackers students freeloading off Mumsy and Dadsy ahead of a visit to New Zealand. "Protest is a part of democratic society and student protests are particularly a long honoured tradition in democratic society," Rice told a news conference in the West Australian capital Perth. "And I can only say that the United States has done everything that it can to, in this war on terror, live up to our international and our national laws and obligations."
New Zealand university bugwits students had earlier offered blood money a reward for anyone foolish enough to be carrying out a citizen's arrest on Rice after her arrival late Friday for talks with Prime Minister Helen Clark on Saturday. Auckland University Student Association (AUSA) president David Do Do said the reward of 5,000 New Zealand dollars (3,725 US) was being offered to the usual rubes for Rice's arrest for her role in "overseeing the illegal invasion and continued occupation" of Iraq.
