Protesters Disrupt Rumsfeld Speech to National Press Club


WASHINGTON - Protestors briefly disrupted a speech by US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to the National Press Club, chanting, "How many children did you kill today?"


MR. RUMSFELD, YOU'RE FIRED!

The protesters were escorted from a visitors gallery overlooking a hall where Rumsfeld was addressing a gathering of journalists on Iraq.

"Mr. Rumsfeld you're fired," a woman yelled as Rumsfeld was beginning a speech on Iraq and the war on terrorism that followed the attacks on the US Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon.

**Check out the bottom of the article. Dumbsfeld returned from Iraq, a place where you can say what you want, read what you want, etc.... Odd... Iraq has free speech now and these two young women are escorted out for exercising Free Speech?! Guess it's time to pack up and emigrate to Iraq, eh?

2. My thoughts exactly.

Rumsfeld spouting about 100 newspapers now in Iraq. Really, really wanted to see one of the press ask "When will Bush have an open forum for citizens who disagree with him?" But no....to see Bush you've got to be a Republican, get a "special" invite, and be ready to write a check.
