An anti-war protestor, whose hands were painted red to look like blood, stormed up to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice as she arrived to testify on Capitol Hill this morning, shouting “war criminal” before being hauled away by bodyguards.
The demonstrator was easily within arms distance when she accosted Rice who remained calm as bodyguards jumped on the intruder.
There was a brief struggle between other members of the anti-war group “Code Pink” who were tossed out of the House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing room by Capitol Police.
Rice was scheduled to talk about a “two-state solution” in the Middle East.
