Stow the butt-hurt. I've looked at the facts. The Iraq and Afghanistan wars will be remembered as the end of the American era, unless Silicon Valley can build US 2.0. and disassociate themselves from Washington.

Really? The poster above posted these facts. http://archive.is/vAWQa Will you look at those too or just conveniently ignore them like the other posters who downvoted the FactCheck link above?

Agreed. It's hard to understand HN sometimes. Posts about women and minorities in tech get overwhelmingly positive comments..."we have to do anything and everything possible to get more of minority X involved in tech"...then a popular company hires a double minority and everyone loses their mind.

Stop doing that. You're being dishonest right now. This is not about sexism or racism. My co-founder and best friend of 8 years is a woman, and she had the same reaction of disgust by this move as me. This has to do with Rice's history of warmongering and condoning torture, not her sex or ethnicity.

I don't disagree on these points. But the reality is you are talking every person who has worked for either administration in the post 9/11 era is on this gig. We still have guantanomo bay...etc. None of these people in washington are changing anything. The snowden leaks are from 2008-2009 era. That stuf is 6+yrs old. People thought that was tin foil. For 6 years...

Hate to break this to you, but Wikipedia is not due process. http://archive.is/vAWQa

That's usually the first thing that war criminals come up with to shield themselves from prosecution. "They just didn't know better" It doesn't matter if they knew or didn't, they are responsible for what they did. If ignorance was sufficient, they'd place a donkey in the white house and wash their hands in innocence.
