05/04/06)
Already under fire from some retired military brass who want him to resign, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld was greeted at a speech in Atlanta by unusually hostile anti-war protesters. 'This man needs to be in prison for war crimes,' shouted Gloria Tatum, 63, of nearby Decatur, Ga., before being hauled away by security officials. Ray McGovern, a former CIA analyst and noted critic of the war in Iraq, waited patiently in line to question Rumsfeld, then let loose. 'Why did you lie to get us into a war that caused these kind of casualties and was not necessary?' McGovern said. 'I did not lie,' shot back a feisty Rumsfeld, who waved off security guards ready to remove McGovern .... Rumsfeld said: 'People need to trust each other and their government. The idea that people in government are lying is fundamentally destructive of that trust.'" [editor's note: Then stop lying, Mr. Rumsfeld! - TLK]
