Hu Jintao

So China's premier comes to the US for a meeting with the head honcho.... During his "official state welcome", one enterprising Falun Gong member manages to gain access to the White House press platform and begins shouting something along the lines of "Don't let him stifle our human rights." At that very moment, she's removed from the platform and charged with something like "attempt to conspire". Cutting to the issue here, a dictator arrives in the US and we stifle people's right to free speech? I realize she snuck onto the "official" platform, but it just looks bad. Maybe I'm too liberal?
