Who's Getting Heckled at the White House?

Hu, that's who (I know, I did that joke yesterday, but I couldn't resist). President Hu of China got a little exposure to free speech during the welcoming ceremony at the White House. Michelle Malkin has these reports:

From Drudge: FLASH: Chinese heckler disrupts Hu's speech on south lawn at White House, 'President Bush, stop him from killing'... one cameraman put a hand on her shoulder as she shouted... seemed to be trying to quiet her down... 'Stop persecuting the Falun Gong,' she yelled'... she is taken away by uniformed secret service officers... right after Bush urged Hu to allow Chinese to 'speak freely'...

And from the AP: 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.


After all the backslapping and toasting with Bill Gates and the crowd at Boeing, I wonder if Hu was expecting to get heckled at the White House? Michelle has some pictures and video of the incident.
