Free Speech for Them but Not for Us, David Henderson | EconLog | Library of Economics and Liberty

Free Speech for Them but Not for Us, David Henderson | EconLog | Library of Economics and Liberty: "On Tuesday, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton gave a speech at George Washington University in which she criticized foreign governments for cracking down on freedom of speech. In her audience was a retired CIA official, Ray McGovern, who quietly turned his back on her in protest of her pro-war actions. He didn't disrupt her speech. Right while Clinton was touting free speech and look at the back of the small room and could, presumably, see McGovern, goons roughed up McGovern and hauled him away. Did Hillary Clinton protest? No. She didn't even miss a beat. Nor, sadly, did anyone in her audience speak out."
