Rumsfeld Heckled by Former CIA Analyst

"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.

Rumsfeld also faced tough questions from a woman identifying herself as Patricia Roberts of Lithonia, Ga., who said her son, 22-year-old Spc. Jamaal Addison, was killed in Iraq. Roberts said she is now raising her young grandson and asked whether the government could provide any help.

Rumsfeld referred her to a Web site listing aid organizations.

Isn't that nice. "Your son is dead? I won't visit your home. But if you do the research on this website, someone there will tell you that the US military doesn't offer any aid for grandmothers."

I agree that Bush should not have ebarked on a war if he didn't have the money to handsomely compensate the families of slain soldiers, and to comprehensively attend the wounded. For failing to do so, he and his teammates desearve whatever they get.
