World Can’t Wait Activist Interrupts Rumsfeld Speech

HeadlineFeb 03, 2006

And at the same press event where Rumsfeld spoke, an anti-war activist interrupted his speech.

  • World Can’t Wait’s Heather Hurwitz: “You have committed crimes against humanity and BushCommission.org and thousands are coming this weekend to drive you out of office, You and you whole administration. Step down Mr. Rumsfeld, Bush administration step down and take these programs with you. You are torturing people signing off on torture. It’s happening. This world needs to wake up, stop this war, this criminal war.”

Hurwitz is a member of the group World Can’t Wait. The group is convening a protest in Washington Saturday calling on the Bush administration to step down. Thousands of people are expected to attend.
