Condi speaks

Secretary of State Rice sat down for a lengthy interview with reporters from the Washington Times. Drudge and others have focused on two very small elements of the interview. If you read the headlines you would get the impression that she is running for president and pro-abortion. Well, that's very simplistic. Here is the portion of the interview dealing with presidential ambitions:

Mr. Sammon: So are you ruling it out?
Miss Rice: Oh, that's not fair, but ... I really can't imagine it.

Her response to the reporters attempts to pigeon hole her on abortion sounded pretty in line with the mainstream. Basically, she is morally opposed to abortion but does not want current law changed.

The majority of the article deals with foreign policy and is well worth reading.
