David Swanson: I want to talk to you about this play, "A Nation Deceived", in which a country prosecutor prosecutes Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld for...

Ed Asner: Well, he is the plaintiff, and becomes the prosecutor in the trial. I don't know how realistically possible that is, but for the sake of drama, we employ that technique here. The author is a prominent attorney out of Colorado who has won some phenomenal cases against the government and achieving greater freedom so, he has to know what he's talking about, Craig Barnes.

David Swanson: .....and talking about Rumsfeld's absurd statements about the absence of evidence and the evidence of absence and then there's too much evidence of absence, and how do you keep from breaking up laughing while you're performing this?

Ed Asner: Well, you know, most of the time when I encounter Rumsfeld on the news, etc, it's like talking to the white rabbit....

Ed Asner: I know not yet, and there may never be a yet....I mean, look at the farce that was perpetrated on habeas corpus. John McCain, 3 great Republican soldiers, politicians, were facing down the president on habeas corpus, and what happened in the end? They all caved. They all said no, now it's okay. They put some dimples in it or something, but the removal of habeas corpus was accepted.......

David Swanson: It's done.

Ed Asner: .... by them, and became the law of the land.

David Swanson: Yes, as with torture.

Ed Asner: As with torture.

David Swanson: If these elections are stolen next week and if that evidence is clear...

Ed Asner: Yeah, what do you think the American people will do then?
