DemocracyNow.org -
This week, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton gave a major address calling for Internet freedom around the world. As Clinton condemned the Egyptian and Iranian governments for arresting and beating protesters, former U.S. Army and CIA officer Ray McGovern was violently ejected from the audience and arrested after he stood up and turned his back in a silent protest of America's foreign policy. Ray McGovern joins us from Washington, D.C.

Deserves an irony tag imo

It's incredible that the secret service doesn't realize it's more disruptive to tackle an old guy than to let him stand there throughout the speech. Aside from totally unnecessary and excessive.

Though I have to say the title is deceptive; from his own account he never says he was "beaten". Just handled roughly. What actually happened is bad enough, there's no need to exaggerate.

Yes, I vote *irony too.>> ^ghark:

I'm more concerned with Juan. Is he having a stroke there in the beginning around 15s?
