AntiWar Protester? Heck No. That's Ray McGovern! Well-Informed CIA Analyst

I was traipsing merrily along through the Washington Post pages this morning, when I stumbled across the story about Rumsfeld's heckler. The one who interrupted Rummy's speech in Atlanta, Georgia at the Southern Center for International Studies yesterday.

Nearly passed the story by. After all, a controversal fellow like Rumsfeld, whose policies are responsible for the deaths of so many innocent victims, always has hecklers. So, ho hum. What else is new?

In a hurry to get to the Patrick Kennedy Ambien mishap, my eyes skimmed the Rummy article and stopped abruptly at the name of The Heckler. This wasn't any ole heckler; this was Ray McGovern! The former CIA Analyst. The Gentleman and the Scholar.

You may remember him from last week when this very respectable fellow was a guest on the Jim Lehrer News Show?

Rumsfeld's goons, who operate under the title of security guards, tried to physically remove McGovern from the room when he stood and raised the question of Rumsfeld's integrity. "Why did you lie to get us into a war that caused these kind of casualties and was not necessary?"
