BUSH THE DECIDER: A Continuing Series
Moments after President Bush urged the Chinese President to allow his citizens to speak freely:
A single woman on the camera stand interrupted the welcoming ceremony, shouting in English, “President Bush, stop him from persecuting the Falun Gong!” She also shouted in Chinese, “President Hu, your days are numbered,” according to a translation by reporters on the scene. She was forcibly removed from the South Lawn by uniformed Secret Service personnel.‘
She was charged with disorderly conduct and could face additional federal charges, Secret Service spokesman Eric Zahren said.
The Secret Service said Wang was arrested not for speaking her opinion, but for “causing a ruckus.”
Speak Freely, but bring bail money.
Bush has decided.
