Though Rumsfeld got a warm reception from the World Affairs Council, some two dozen anti-war protesters gathered outside.
His speech was interrupted at one point by a woman who stood up and shouted: "Rumsfeld, you lied to us!"
Rumsfeld paused during his remarks but made no mention of the incident as the woman was hustled from the room by hotel security. Several minutes later, as the defense secretary was departing, a man who had been sitting in an area reserved for reporters strode forward and yelled: "Mr. Rumsfeld, military families think you're lying to them!"
Rumsfeld did not acknowledge the man, who was also removed by security guards.
