From Condi's Wikipedia article: A Senate Intelligence Committee reported that on July 17, 2002, Rice met with CIA director George Tenet to personally convey the Bush administration's approval of the proposed waterboarding of alleged Al Qaeda leader Abu Zubaydah.

Direct approval of torture.

From Wikipedia's page on war crimes:

A war crime is a serious violation of the laws and customs of war (also known as international humanitarian law) giving rise to individual criminal responsibility. Examples of war crimes such as:[1]

    murdering, mistreating, or deporting civilian residents of an occupied territory to slave labor camps

    murdering or mistreating prisoners of war or civilian internees
Condi seems to fit the bill perfectly.
