Salt Lake City’s Mayor Rocky Anderson: “This War Was Sold to the American People Largely by Fox and Other Members of the Media and We Were Lied To”

As Democracy Now! broadcasts from Salt Lake City, the city’s mayor discusses why he spoke out recently at a protest against President Bush and the Iraq War. It was here in Salt Lake City that Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld made headlines last month when he likened critics of the war in Iraq to those who tried to appease Nazi Germany during the 1930s. In a speech to the American Legion veterans group, Rumsfeld referred to the period before World War II and said that "some seem not to have learned history's lessons...I recount that history because, once again, we face similar challenges in efforts to confront the rising threat of a new type of fascism."

Well, just one day after Rumsfeld's speech, thousands of critics of the war in Iraq made their voices heard with a massive protest here in Salt Lake City. Among them was Salt Lake's Mayor, Rocky Anderson.
