"On the contrary, we have witnessed a systematic effort to silence, suppress and repress Chinese citizens who are trying to push the government into greater respect for fundamental rights.”
Who's their president? Is it Bush?

This one hit close to home to T2;

...a host of serious and uncorrected problems linked to the preparation of the Games, including forced evictions, land seizures, suppression of petitioners, closure of migrant children schools, heightened internet censorship, and the use of “hard-strike” anti-crime campaigns to prepare the eviction from ... of undocumented rural migrant workers, beggars, vagrants, and sex workers.

So I guess the US is out for future games, eh?

of course the US is out. Do you think we'd let the Muslim countries send death squads disguised as athletes over here? Not to mention Central and South American's who won't go home after the games are over.

I doubt foreign athletes want to see the inside of any AmeriKan airports:

Baby flown to US for med. treatment dies at airport in a locked "waiting" room- holding cell, more like.
