C-SPAN Opens Video Library (of lies?)

http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/194436-1

This is a C-SPAN video of a Pentagon town hall with Rumsfeld (gurf) and General Pace (love you). If you jump to 61 minutes and 40 some seconds, you will hear the General answer a question about Cuba, then there is an awkward edit..blended to clapping (end of the show).

What was cut out (by C-SPAN) was the last question from the audience:

Audience dude: "If you could have anything you wanted to help the Military succeed, not counting the cost/price (like free), what would that be?"

General Pace: "Peace".

Then the clapping REALLY starts. I teared up at the end of that event, and C-SPAN cut out the reason that I did.

Check the Pentagon video (if you can find it). C-SPAN does edit video and audio that is posted on their web sites, or they have rogue staff that do it under the radar. Either way, the "unedited" claim is FALSE.

Don't get me wrong, I like C-SPAN and hated Rumsfeld, but I happen to be one of the few people on this earth who listens to both sides of issues.
