Code Pink protester shouts at Obama during speech May 23rd 2013, 19:23 Published May 23, 2013 Associated Press President Obama was interrupted three times by a woman who shouted about drones and detainees in Cuba as he delivered a speech on national security. The woman was identified as Medea Benjamin from the anti-war group Code Pink. Benjamin yelled from behind a bank of cameras before security removed her from the hall at National Defense University in Washington. Obama said at one point he was willing to "cut the young lady some slack" because the issues he was addressing are worth being passionate about. Benjamin shouted, quote, "86 were cleared already. Release them today!" That appears to be a reference to detainees who remain in Cuba despite being cleared for transfer from the facility. | |
