The Price of Being Brown at SOTU: Three, Not Two, Were Seized at SOTU
Time Magazine has the details of a third person seized at SOTU -- an Indian guest of Sen. Alcee Hastings. Read this and see if it doesn't make you sick.
But on the same evening that President Bush was lauding democracy and freedom, there was one other person in attendance whose rights were infringed upon. The man, who did not want his identity revealed after the disturbing incident, was a personal guest of Florida Democrat Alcee Hastings. He is a prominent businessman from Broward County, Florida who works with the Department of Defense-and has a security clearance. After sitting in the gallery for the entire speech, he was surrounded by about ten law enforcement officers as he exited the chamber and whisked away to a room in the Capitol.
