Thumbs down Condoleeezzza Rice to Give Secret Speech

This is somewhat interesting:

Why will the words of this speech be restricted from the public ear? It seems rather suspicious to me...

How "private" can a speech to 4,000 be? Although, I couldn't find a copy of the text of the speech, only very short excerpts in news articles.

4000 is not a large number. Furthermore, things can be said that carry a meaning interpretable within the context of a venue, and possess an altogether different meaning when subjected to external critique. So, in that sense, it's secretive if the event is closed to the press.

It still doesn't seem too secretive to me.

The issue maybe aid to Israel. There was some controversy when Bibi Netanyho(spelling) announced they were getting the 11 billion dollar hand out from the US taxpayer and Condi guaranteed it.

Condolesbian Rice is giving a secret speech to four thousand people. Interesting. Not.

Secret is probably the wrong word used to describe the meeting. I would call it a contained meeting. One that would try to keep a low profile from the main media.
