In this video Ray McGovern, 27 year Veteran CIA officer and co-founder of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS) gives a heart lifting talk 03/08/2009 in Kirkland, WA. This is one of his best.
Leen got me started watching Mr. McGovern with his diary today, and seems I have to watch just one more, then one more….

Thanks acquarius74 for this intro to Ray McGovern.
Had heard of him and now am hooked.
Can tell he was taught (between beatings) by some good Jesuits.
Thanks bluejeansntshirt. Isn’t he great? I was feeling pretty heavy spirited about the general mess of our gov when I found this clip. I kept thinking: “if he can stay strong in view of how his whole life’s work has gone to hell in a handbasket, then I can surely keep on keeping on to do what little I can to right things again. What a brilliant man he is; speaks Russian and German, no telling what else, is exceptionally well read, has a tender heart — just think what the CIA lost when he retired!
Seems there are 30 members of his retired intelligence professionals in his VIPS; who apparently and rightfully feel as he does. I’m really grateful that they are making their voices and position heard.
He is fearless! Have you seen the clip where he takes on Rumsfeld? and the one where he testified before the Hearing? WOW!
