Ray McGovern, who was in the CIA for twenty seven years asked him why he lied about the run-up to the Iraq war. Rumsfeld then proceeded to lie to McGovern to cover up his earlier statements about WMD's being in Iraq. He also tries to use the troops in his defense, a terrible strategy, but not uncommon unfortunately. Notice, at the end of the clip, Ray gets vilified for asking Rumsfeld some pointed questions. We can't have that, no-no-no.

1. love the "one clap" for powell

2. Oh that is a good video of bad things

There was an impressive set of Jeff Gannon's in that room. All that applause made me want to :puke: all over the place. It is fascism.

3. I remember seeing this when it happened.

I ALSO remember seeing Fox's version of it. Completely disgusting. They spun it to look like Rumsfeld was 10 times more confident - cutting out the stammering, delaying, and thinking - and didn't give McGovern's response to half his comments but keeping every applause.

Like it was a completely different event...

I wish I could get my hands on that Fox clip again... can't find it anywhere.
