We read a piece by Wretchard on Ray McGovern this morning. McGovern is the quack who recently heckled Don Rumsfeld. We noted McGovern in a piece a year ago on those crazy faux “committee” hearings on the Downing Street memo:

The session took an awkward turn when witness Ray McGovern, a former intelligence analyst, declared that the United States went to war in Iraq for oil, Israel and military bases craved by administration “neocons” so “the United States and Israel could dominate that part of the world.” He said that Israel should not be considered an ally and that Bush was doing the bidding of Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.

“Israel is not allowed to be brought up in polite conversation,” McGovern said. “The last time I did this, the previous director of Central Intelligence called me anti-Semitic.” Rep. James P. Moran Jr. (D-Va.), who prompted the question by wondering whether the true war motive was Iraq’s threat to Israel, thanked McGovern for his “candid answer.”

The title of this piece is not a reference to McGovern, by the way.

UPDATE

Speaking of mental travellers, we feel sorry for this fellow, and we can think of an awful lot of people whom we’d like to see locked up in place of him.
