Another private citizen doing reporters job for them (UPDATED)

Update: The audience member referenced below was Ray McGovern, who spent 27 years of his life as a analyst for the CIA. Unclaimed Territory has a post about the utterly predictable smear campaign the extreme-right websites have launched against him.

Glenn Greenwald concludes:
Not only is a lopsided majority of Americans (like McGovern) against the war in Iraq, they also believe (like McGovern) that the Bush administration "intentionally misled" the country into war. The fringe, radical, discredited views on the war are not those expressed by McGovern, but are those expressed by Instadpundit, LGF and company. And yet those same extremists continue to classify people who oppose the war as "radicals"and "leftists" because they apparently still believe -- even in the face of all that evidence to the contrary -- that it is their pro-war views which represent what mainstream Americans believe.

To which I'll just add: Can we impeach them (all) nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow?

Original post:
Speaking in Atlanta today, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld was sharply questioned about his pre-war claims about WMD in Iraq. An audience member confronted Rumsfeld with his 2003 claim about WMD, “We know where they are.” Rumsfeld falsely claimed he never said it. The audience member then read Rumsfeld’s quote back to him, leaving the defense secretary speechless.
