Iraqi Prisoner Abuse Controversy Makes Way Into Local Commencements

RALEIGH, N.C. -- This is graduation weekend in the Triangle, and current events gave Saturday's commencement messages a harder edge.

The controversy over pictures and alleged abuse of Iraqi prisoners of war highlighted the messages at Methodist College in Fayetteville and Peace College in Raleigh.

1. I thought it was significant that Madeline Albright was the Duke speaker

Duke is a fairly conservative campus, with a strong contingent of Young Republicans. Most commencement speakers at Duke are safely neutral or slightly right.

2. Madeline Albright speaker at Duke...

I couldn't believe it when I read it. She has been talking about foreign policy a lot lately on the media.

3. M. Albright was doing book signings all weekend

Both at Quail Ridge Books in Raleigh and at The Regulator in Durham. I missed both times!!!! x( :grr: :grr:

I would have loved to have seen her again. I met her at an Erskine Bowles rally last time over in Greensboro.
