Forget Eric Hunt and his obsession with Elie Wiesel. The latest peculiar story of quasi-nutjobs infilitrating hotel security comes to us by way of Jerusalem where activists supporting Jonathan Pollard managed to gain access to the floor of Condoleeza Rice's hotel room.
Around 8 p.m. the group of activists entered the hotel and several of them went up to the floor Rice is staying on. Near her room they were stopped by a metal detector, but two broke through and managed to get within several feet of her room and additional security personnel were called in to remove them from the scene.
The activists said: "Rice came here to preach to us that we should release terrorists who have murdered civilians, while the US has imprisoned Pollard for 22 years. His health continues to deteriorate and Prime Minister Ehud Olmert must demand his release before it's too late."
The Committee to Free Jonathan Pollard disassociated itself from this evening's incidents. "We only employ legal means for our cause, but we can understand those activists who could not take it anymore."
