RUMSFELD: "We need ways to make sure we're better understood in the world than we are."

SecDef Rumsfeld once again faced hecklers during a speech in Atlanta, as reported by Associated Press:

"Why did you lie to get us into a war that caused these kind of casualties and was not necessary?" asked Ray McGovern, the former analyst, during a question-and-answer session.
"I did not lie," shot back Rumsfeld, who waved off security guards ready to remove McGovern from the hall at the Southern Center for International Studies.


Rumsfeld isn't the only one getting heckled. When Condi Rice went to Australia in March, she was called a war criminal and a murderer. In April, she went to England and was followed by hecklers every stop she made. Somebody wised up and kept Rice away from the citizens during her recent trip to Greece.

The only one not getting heckled is the President -- who doesn't make public appearances unless it is before a pre-screened and loyal crowd.
