Ray McGovern was injured as he was being removed from a Hillary Clinton presser. Ironically the subject of the presser was the recent uprisings in north Africa and the value of free speech and freedom of expression.
What a sad, sad day when a hero like McGovern is removed for exercising his Constitutional rights.

So it's little wonder that FBI whistleblower Sibel Edmonds, founder of the National Security Whistleblowers Coalition (NSWBC), found herself "way too upset to write a coherent piece" yesterday after hearing of the news that the 71-year old McGovern had been "brutalized and left bleeding" by security guards after daring to stand in silent protest during a speech by Sec. of State Hillary Clinton --- on "the rights of individuals to express their views freely"(!) --- at George Washington University on Tuesday.
Clinton didn't even blink as the 27-year CIA veteran was dragged out of the room from where he was standing silently, back towards her, during her speech, some 15 feet in front of her as RAW STORY reports and as the video below suggests --- or even as he finally shouted: "So this is America!"...
(my emphasis)
Indeed.
