he said what he said
[id: a video shot in the audience of a George W. Bush lecture. A man stands up, being recorded by the person by his side. He points at the stage where Bush is sitting and says “Mr. Bush, when are you going to apologize for the million Iraqis that are dead because you lied.” As soon as he starts talking, the crowd starts to boo. He continues “you lied about weapons of mass destruction, you lied about (Iraq’s) connection to 9/11, you lied about Iraq being a threat. You sent me to Iraq. You sent me to Iraq in 2003.” At this moment, two women who were by his side in the audience stand up and try to wrench him back into his seat, grabbing him forcefully by the shoulders and arms. He continues, reading from a sheet of paper. “My friends are dead. Joshua Casteel.” One of the women wrenches the paper from his hands and puts both hands around his shoulders, pulling him back on the seat. He continues “You lied. You lied about killing people. You lied about WMDs. A million Iraqis are dead because you lied. My friends are dead because you lied. You need to apologize. Apologize.” The women push him onto the hall and he is carried off by security. The people in the row before him sit with empty expressions, looking forward. / end id]
