Win Without War on “Meet the Press”

How unpopular is the war in Iraq? Tim Russert is featuring the director of the group Win Without War on Sunday’s “Meet the Press”:

[N]ext week marks the start of the 5th year of the war in Iraq. After four years, has it been worth the cost in life and treasure? And should the U.S. send more troops or begin a withdrawal?

We will be joined exclusively by former Rep. Tom Andrews (D-ME), the director of the anti-war coalition “Win Without War”; former House Majority Leader Rep. Tom DeLay (R-TX), now author of the new book “No Retreat, No Surrender”; Richard Perle, the former Chairman of the Defense Policy Board and now a Resident Fellow of the American Enterprise Institute; and Rep. Joe Sestak (D-PA), a retired Vice Admiral of the U.S. Navy who is the highest ranking former military officer to serve in the House.

When was the last time Russert had an anti-war activist on MTP? Has he ever?
