Activists Disrupt Karl Rove Speech at Goucher College
by William Hughes
On the evening of Sept. 16, 2009, a protest was staged at Goucher College in Towson, Maryland, just north of Baltimore City, on the appearance of Karl Rove on campus as a guest speaker. Rove was a senior advisor, 2001-2007, to former President George W. Bush. Just as Rove was being introduced, at least three activists stood up in the audience and denounced him. They were quickly escorted out of the auditorium by the police and instructed not to return. As far as this observer knows, the police took down their names, but the protesters were not arrested. According to the protest announcement on the ANSWER Coalition website, Rove "should be on trial for carrying out a war of aggression in Iraq, and implementing a system of torture, secret prisons, racial and religious profiling, and massive spying on the people of this country."more...
