WHERE DOES THE U.S. STAND ON FREEDOM OF THE PRESS?

AOL reports as follows:

 

"WASHINGTON (AP) -- As world leaders linked arms and marched in defiance of terror attacks in Paris, there was one glaring absence: a high-level representative from the United States.

 

President Barack Obama spent the weekend at the White House. Vice President Joe Biden was in his hometown of Wilmington, Delaware. Secretary of State John Kerry was on a long-planned trip to India. Attorney General Eric Holder was in Paris attending a security summit, but did not make an appearance at the march on Sunday.

 

The Obama administration was instead represented by U.S. ambassador to France Jane Hartley."
