Rumsfeld gets Bashed

[Hurin_Rules]

CNN's 360 With Anderson Cooper just ran a great piece on this, when the former CIA officer confronts Rumsfeld. There are some great moments. At one point, Rumsfeld denies he ever said the evidence of Zarqawi's links to Saddam Hussein were 'bulletproof', but CNN then shows Rumsfeld saying precisely that.

The video of the actual confrontation is also at the website listed above ( http://edition.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS....ap/index.html , click on 'Donald Rumsfeld answers tough questions, in the green box to the center right of the screen), although unfortunately not the fact checks that show that Rumsfeld was flat out lying.

For those of you who can't watch, the former CIA officer catches Rumsfeld in two misleading statements, gives him a question that he cannot answer, and points out Rumsfeld's final answer is a total non sequitur.

The transcript of the CIA analyst's conversation on CNN, in which he points out that all the facts contradict Rumsfeld, is available on CNN's site here: http://edition.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS...ern/index.html

Enjoy.

Were there though, so there's little point in arguing over why we got there till we've fixed the place.

I don't know what your position on this was. If you had agreed with the invasion of Iraq before, do you now agree with France, Germany, Russia and everyone else who were against the war?
