Rummy caught in a lie in Atlanta

After Stephen Colbert calling it like it is to the President's face, we have this follow-on act:

Interrupting this meeting (video from Crooks and Liars), Ray McGovern, a 27-year veteran of the CIA who had provided daily intelligence briefings to President George H.W. Bush, asks Rumsfeld why he lied about WMD's when he said he knew where they were. They also had an exchange on the Iraq-Al Qaeda connection.

What was sickening in the video is the partisan crowd (attending the event at the Southern Center for Internaltional Studies) trying to hush McGovern, with absolutely no care about the damage done to this country from the lies told by Rumsfeld and others. Also, some man fawining in the end...gross! Made me squirm.

Update: meanwhile Paul Pillar, an ex-CIA analyst specialising in counter-terrorism in the Middle East and Asia, had this to say to El Pais, about the purported Iraq-Al Qaeda link: "by some definitions, that could be called a lie. There was an organised campaign of manipulation."

Of course! Why is this fool still not impeached, I ask?
