Rummy called out on lies, left speechless


Ray McGovern, a CIA veteran, challenged Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld on his bullshit today during a press conference in Atlanta.

Why can't the Administration just answer people's questions? Oh yeah, because THEY LIE ALL THE TIME.

You see, Rummy, when you start lying a lot it gets hard to keep track of the things you've said. That's when things get messy. Especially when there's people dying and stuff.

From Think Progress:
Speaking in Atlanta today, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld was sharply questioned about his pre-war claims about WMD in Iraq. An audience member confronted Rumsfeld with his 2003 claim about WMD, “We know where they are.” Rumsfeld falsely claimed he never said it. The audience member then read Rumsfeld’s quote back to him, leaving the defense secretary speechless.
