The State Department says it’s launched a review after video showed a U.S. security agent helping oust a reporter from a meeting between Secretary of State John Kerry and Uzbekistan President Islam Karimov. During the meeting in Uzbekistan, Washington Post correspondent Carol Morello asked a question about the U.S. critique of Uzbekistan’s human rights record. She was then removed from the room by U.S. and Uzbek agents.
Carol Morello: “Mr. President, would you take a question from the American press? Secretary Kerry’s own State Department has criticized the human rights situation. Would you respond?”
Unidentified: “Take her out. Take her out.”
