On the March 6 broadcast, former CIA analyst and presidential daily briefer Ray McGovern dissected Rumsfeld's prevarications at the Truman Library.  The broadcast interview had to be edited for time. The podcast includes the entire interview with McGovern, including the story of Anderson Cooper calling Ray right after his 2006 confrontation with Rumsfeld in Atlanta, and the advice Ray had for Cooper.

On February 28, on Tell Somebody, we heard Rumsfeld's mic check at the Truman Library and heard some audio from Ray McGovern's notable May, 2006 confrontation with Rumsfeld in Atlanta, and also heard part of a city council hearing regarding the petitions for ballot iniatives about Kansas City's nuclear weapons parts plant. Audio of that show has now been posted - for link to downloadable mp3 click here:

Did you ever watch the movie Invasion of the Body Snatchers?  Either the original from the 1950's or the 1970's remake?  As most of you know, it was a sci-fi story about pod people- aliens have invaded earth and huge seed pods 'hatch' duplicates of humans.  The fruit of the pods look and sound exactly like the humans they have replaced, but they have no individuality or normal emotion, and when they see a real human who hasn't yet been replaced, they aggressively point them out.

I couldn't help but think of that as I watched a video of the 'mic check' protest of Donald Rumsfeld during his appearnce at the Truman Library in Independence MO on Februrary 24 that was posted on the http://www.occupykc.net/ website.  After library security had removed several vocal citizens, the Rumsfeld pod people aggressively pointed out those who remained in their seats.  One Rumsfeld fan did exhibit some sort of emotion, saying to a woman "and you're a bitch, now get out!"  Shortly after that, Rumsfeld says: "I suspect there are a couple more in here..."

 Watch the video for yourself at this link, and see what you think:
