it wasn't that condoleezza rice was going to speak at rutgers, it was that condoleezza rice was goingd a formal honor and be paid $35,000. so she was being honored. there was a choice by rutgers affirmatively to honor condoleezza rice, and that's part of what my understanding is your case against this. >> yes. specifically an honorary law degree to someone who tried to circumvent law in order to start a war and circumvent law in order to torture, to allegedly obtain information from terrorists, but the real thing is there were a lot of journalists, a lot of civilians who were never tried and never proven to be terrorists tortured. and there was nothing being done to give them repairs or anything. >> so then the slippery slope argument is then, well, where does it stop, right? barack obama. >> barack obama is a controversial topic for us too because we have discussed barack obama in our meetings. at least in the coalition where 50 to 60 people as a core group. and we are technically opposed to the idea of barack obama also just freely coming to our campus and being honored when he prom
