Where's the Outrage?

A woman, while watching President Hu conduct an official visit yells out for him to allow freedom of speech in China and is promptly arrested. No news there, except it took place in Washington D.C. And the arrest was by American policemen. And after Bush told President Hu this:

"China has become successful because the Chinese people are experience the freedom to buy, and to sell, and to produce -- and China can grow even more successful by allowing the Chinese people the freedom to assemble, to speak freely, and to worship."
What was this woman's crime? She yelled, in heavily accented English,
"President Bush: Stop him from killing" and, "President Bush, stop him from persecuting the Falun Gong."
I guess that whole First Amendment thing doesn't apply in a post 9/11 world.
