Former CIA Analyst McGovern Returns From Stalled Gaza Flotilla – Part 2

by admin on Jul.16, 2011, under Uncategorized


As a senior CIA analyst, Ray McGovern was in charge of preparing daily security briefs for President Reagan and later for President George HW Bush. Since retiring, he has became a vocal peace advocate. He came to Peacestock 2011 at a farm near Hager City, Wis., from the Gaza Flotilla, which has been detained by Greek authorities in Athens. About two-thirds of the planned group has returned, but one-third still remain and hope to succeed. On Feb. 15, as US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spoke on issues of free speech at George Washington University, 71-year-old McGovern was assaulted, dragged from the room and double handcuffed, causing profuse bleeding. What had he done to elicit this treatment? He stood in “silent witness.” McGovern offered a grim view of the outlook for the American Empire and the results of current attacks on US civil liberties, but he also described positive actions that are needed and possible.
