Please see update at end.
I received an invitation from Democracy For America to attend an event featuring SCOTT RITTER and RAY McGOVERN. According to the invite, they will be speaking in Cranberry, at the Hain Middle School TOMORROW evening, Saturday 21 October at 7 PM.

Details over the flip.
Scott Ritter is likely familiar to you. Ray McGovern you will remember as the career CIA man who confronted SecWar Rumsfeld about lying about weapons of mass destruction supposedly hidden by his old weapons buyer Saddam Hussein.
SCOTT RITTER served as a U.S. Marines intelligence officer and was the Chief United Nations Weapons Inspector in Iraq from 1991 to 1998. He also spent several months of the Gulf War serving under General Norman Schwarzkopf at Marine Central Command in Saudi Arabia. He is the author of "Iraq Confidential" (www.iraqconfidential.com) published by Nation Books (www.nationbooks.org).
RAY McGOVERN served as a CIA Analyst for 27 years. His duties included chairing the National Intelligence Estimates and conducting early morning daily briefings one-on-one with Vice President George Bush and other senior administration officials. Ray is on the Steering Group of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS). He recently attracted widespread attention when he publicly confronted Donald Rumsfeld about the Secretary's claims concerning weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
There are some YouTubes of Mr. McGovern's questioning Rumsfeld and his evasive "Rumsfeldian" response:

This is a great opportunity to meet and (I hope) asking questions from these very well informed patriots. I haven't seen any publicity for this -- I can't understand why it isn't more widely publicized (at least as I've seen).
UPDATE: Scott Ritter will not be at the event tomorrow. That is very much too bad.
I am told "Steve Porter D 3DC candidate, Filmaker/director Rush to war will be there. "
Ray McGovern certainly knows a lot -- he was a CIA analyst for 27 years.
