Nobel Peace Prize winner Betty Williams told an audience of about 1,000 people at the 2007 International Women's Peace Conference in Dallas that she wanted to kill then President George W. Bush.
"Right now, I could kill George Bush," said Williams. "No, I don't mean that. How could you nonviolently kill somebody? I would love to be able to do that."
Eventually, Williams offered an apology for her remarks, explaining that her "feelings now and again get way ahead of me."
"I couldn't kill anybody, but I must confess that I'm extremely angry with the Bush administration and what they have done. To say that was wrong," added Williams.
