Scott Ritter: As a U.S. Marine intelligence officer and the United Nations' top weapons inspector, Scott led 14 inspection missions in Iraq between 1991 and 1998. Ritter also spent several months of the Gulf War serving under General Norman Schwarzkopf with Marine Central Command headquarters in Saudi Arabia. Scott is the author of Iraq Confidential (www.iraqconfidential.com), published in October 2005 by Nation Books. "The important thing to know about Scott Ritter is that he was right." --Seymour Hersh
Ray McGovern: A senior CIA analyst for 27 years, Ray's duties included chairing National Intelligence Estimates and preparing the President' Daily Brief (PDB). These, the most authoritative genres of intelligence reporting, have been the focus of press reporting on "weapons of mass destruction" in Iraq and on what the president was told before 9/11. During the mid-eighties, Ray was one of the senior analysts conducting early morning briefings of the PDB one-on-one with the Vice President and other senior administration officials. Ray is in the Steering Group of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity.
This event is co-sponsored by the BuxMont Unitarian Universalist Fellowship Peace Initiative, the Coalition for Peace Action, Hunterdon for Democracy, and Upper Bucks for Democracy.
$10 Admission--but no one will be turned away.

Salon and the 2004 election
In response to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s Rolling Stone article "Was the 2004 Election Stolen?" Farhad Manjoo wrote this rebuttal in Salon, which then posted RFK's answer coupled with FM's subsequent rejoinder along with a defense by Salon editor Joan Walsh. Salon next posted a response to FM by Steven F. Freeman, coauthor with Joel Bleifuss of Was the 2004 Presidential Election Stolen? Exit Polls, Election Fraud, and the Official Count, which relied on many of the same sources cited by RFK. Salon, however, denied the courtesy to Mark Crispin Miller, author of Fooled Again: How the Right Stole the 2004 Election & Why They'll Steal the Next One Too (Unless We Stop Them), "to reply, both to Manjoo's piece (which . . . had wrongly used my own work on election fraud to further slander Kennedy's) and to Joan Walsh's apologia." Thanks to the Huffington Post for posting MCM's open letter to Salon.
