1. Did Rummie know he was talking to McGovern?

I wondered that while I was watching; especially when Rummie started talking about Powell's speech and intelligence. I don't think he did, which makes the whole thing that much more sweet.

3. I think so. Rummy was bashing the CIA all the way in his response..

he blamed them for what Powell was saying among other things.

He knew.

[la la]

5. McGovern

introduced himself at the beginning of his question, so if rummy didn't know him, he's truly off in his own little rummy-world. He actually had a little smirk on his face when McGovern mentioned the group that he was associated with --which I can't remember right now - CIA Veterans for the Truth or something like that.

7. They're the "Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity"

In 2003 they had 25 members: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,81148,00.html

Not sure what it is now.

2. isn't that the truth

yes, we definitely know the story.

4. That was a great line, but I don't know if it's true.

[Harper_is_Bush]

6. Ah yes, but by SAYING it he's making it much more true!

People will see this video. It's made some waves, it's a little surprising to see Rumsfeld given a real run for his money.

When they see it they'll hear McGovern answering Rumsfeld's claim that Zarqawi was in Bahgdad and they'll hear the facts McGovern churns out and hear his derisive line.
It works on so many levels. Astounding mastership shown by McGovern.
