To Veil or Not To Veil: The Pelosi Question

Submitted by Matt Stevens, May 15, 2007 13:32

An interesting, if partisan look at Pelosi's trip. Sadly, you are badly mistaken. Pelosi wore her Veil at the Mosque and in a couple other places. But she did not wear it around the marketplace. Also, numerous other female American leaders have worn the veil while in the ME. I give you Condoleeza Rice, Laura Bush, even George Bush wore a hat at the weeping wall.

This is a partisan article
