Saw that - Jonathan Schwarz has a video posted showing just the snippet of him being taken out ... Rather ironic verbiage from Hillary as a backdrop!

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.

Four people died at Kent State and the whole thing really looks like one guy starting a round of panic shooting - not a specific command decision to mow down everyone protesting . If push came to shove, I think you are dead wrong on this. I don't see my friends in the army blasting on their protesting stoner buddies because Bush or Obama says to. They aren't doing it because they have some political loyalty to the "regime", they are doing it for the steady paycheck and hope that the GI Bill doesn't turn out to be bullshit.

But private military contractors ... who now almost outnumber our military .... they recruit the ones who don't give a damn. If Americans rise up to the point where they face tanks ... my guess is those tanks won't be manned by the US Military

After reading that Americablog entry, I wouldn't trust ANYTHING they have to say on the topic

Not. One. Thing.

Where he says > I did find some corroboration, for example here.

I nearly spit on the screen, That link is Iranian state TV!!!

I can't imagine a more untrustworthy source on the Egyptian revolution.right now. I wanna ask them : how long have you been blogging now? All that time and you still didn't learn you can't trust everything on the internet? You can only find two sources for what would have been a major story and you don't check those sources out? Hello?

His comments about Fisk sound nearly as clueless. Suffice it to say that Fisk is an extremely controversial writer having a known tendency to report rumors as fact when they serve the point he is trying to make. He's well known--that part they got right. But not necessarily for accurate reporting.
