Video: U.S. Agent Helps Oust Reporter for Questioning Uzbek President 
----------------------------------------------------------------------


 
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."
