I'm posting this in Convo because it's more of a show & tell than a discussion unto itself. In this clip former CIA analyst Ray McGovern puts some tough questions to Rummy, who just scoffs, stammers, changes the subject, and delivers non-sequiturs in response. I wish things like this would get more play in the media... it's one of the only televised conversations I've seen in which a cabinet member's feet are really put to the fire and he's totally unable to escape (until he's bailed out).

And lies and lies and lies as the audience, unaccountably, claps and cheers him. Particularly sickening when the next questioner gets up to fellate Rummy and smooth it all down again with some feeble humour. I can empathise with your frustration, ibis.
