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.

  • Hilary is the epitome of a soulless, blind political automaton.

    Her cold, dead eyes, her plastic skin, crocodile smile - that empty space where the soul should be: she's not human.

    I won't be surprised when somebody names a missile after her.

  • US is a Nazi country, no doubt...

  • Do you mean, we are looking at actual footage of a man being violently arrested simply for standing with his back to the speaker? A man who served this country for decades and some bitch who obviously won't swallow? They arrested the wrong person?

  • A rare glimpse of honest jouralism, rarely seen in this country, on DemocracyNow

  • She is a fake liberal like Obama and the rest of his administration. She pretends not to know what is going on in front of her! Clinton, Obama and their criminal pals do not represent us any more than Bush and Cheney did. That is why Ray and other peaceful protesters are arrested and manhandled by government goons. They are being treated as if they were dangerous criminals. It is a despicable frame job. We know who our worst enemies are - a bunch of snakes in suits in Washington.

  • @Notagayusername10 She is a corporate owned stooge.

  • @Notagayusername10 She is not a LIberal. There have been no real liberals in power since JFK. Lincoln, Washington and Jefferson where liberals.

  • @mbandrews1

    It's called "controlled" opposition.

  • @GaGirlie777

    This was not staged because McGovern is a part of veterans for peace, and he also got into a heated debate with Rumsfeld about lies that were told concerning WMD in Iraq.

  • FUCK THE GOVERNMENT
