H. Clinton uses her cigars on ex-CIA peace activist
The beat of Talking Heads & B52 - 20.02.2011 06:31

Ex-CIA Analyst Ray McGovern Beaten, Arrested for Silent Protest at Clinton Speech. 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.

Hillary Clinton Talks Freedom as Protester Ray McGovern Is Bloodied

Clinton's talk, which emphasized the need to protect basic freedoms, included her observation that "The rights of individuals to express their views freely… are universal."

Are you as shocked as I am that even Donald Rumsfeld turns out to be a better supporter of free speech than Hillary Clinton? At least the lying SOB former Secretary of Defense didn’t stand by and do nothing as his critics were beaten, arrested and taken away in chains!

H. Clinton not lying, but paying lip service 
Not in my backyard - 21.02.2011 03:02

(..)
Speaking of humor, take a look at this Jon Stewart video contrasting Clinton’s reaction with that of Donald Rumsfeld to a McGovern protest at a speech four years ago – this one broadcast live on CNN. McGovern asked the former Secretary of Defense why he had “lied about weapons of mass destruction.”
 http://www.allvoices.com/s/event-8220383/aHR0cDovL2hvbWUuY29tY2FzdC5uZXQvJTI1N0Vnb2xkOTQ3Mi9ydW1teV92c19tY2dvdmVybi5tb3Y=

Comparing the two experiences, McGovern told Kall, “As bad as Donald Rumsfeld was, he let me speak. He let me speak and engaged me in dialog.”
Although he faces charges of disorderly conduct, McGovern says he isn’t worried. “With all those cameras and photos there has to be someone who will come forward with pictures of me and what happened to me to prove I was attacked, I wasn’t warned,” he said.

McGovern is being represented legally by the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund (PCJF). Attorney Mara Verheyden-Hilliard summed things up well: “It is the ultimate definition of lip service that Secretary of State Clinton would be trumpeting the U.S. government’s supposed concerns for free speech rights and this man would be simultaneously brutalized and arrested for engaging in a peaceful act of dissent at her speech.”

Despite his bruises, Ray McGovern says he will continue to bear witness. “I’m sore,” he concluded, “But I’m glad I did it.”
