Rummy heckled and called a liar (twice at the same event!)
Though Rumsfeld got a warm reception from the World Affairs Council, some two dozen anti-war protesters gathered outside.

His speech was interrupted at one point by a woman who stood up and shouted: "Rumsfeld, you lied to us!"

Rumsfeld paused during his remarks but made no mention of the incident as the woman was hustled from the room by hotel security. Several minutes later, as the defense secretary was departing, a man who had been sitting in an area reserved for reporters strode forward and yelled: "Mr. Rumsfeld, military families think you're lying to them!"

Rumsfeld did not acknowledge the man, who was also removed by security guards.

1. "May God watch over and comfort their grieving families",
Thats rich. Rumsfeld, in reference to the 21 soldiers killed, what a fucking hypocrite.

4. No doubt a courageous "Code Pink" heroine took that stand.
Rummy is a utopianistic idealist kinda guy,...who refuses to face reality. He and the rest of the neoCONs call themselves "liberals" due to their own NARROW interpretation of a "liberal" as a person who imposes some "utopia". These people are sick, manipulative, exploitative FREAKS OF HUMANITY.

Let's just indict and try and put these bastards away,...I don't mind if it's in a hospital for the criminally insane. Just RESTRAIN these destructive people,...right NOW!!!!

5. Two dozen anti-war protesters?
Why can't we get about a million or so anti-war protesters to surround that fucker, make a "citizens arrest," and turn him over to the War Crimes Tribunal?
