- Tibetan Youth Challenge Beijing -- and Dalai Lama
  Posted by Jeff from Wall Street Journal
  A new generation of impatient activists is vying to seize control of the Tibetan freedom movement from the Dalai Lama. Tsewang Rigzin, president of the 30,000-member Tibetan Youth Congress, has a clear goal: Tibet's independence from China. To achieve it, the group has staged a march to Tibet from this north Indian Himalayan town, called for a boycott of the Beijing Olympics, supported hunger strikes and demonstrated outside China's diplomatic missions around the world.

Amanda Beard Nude Olympic Anti-Fur Protest Shutdown
After watching an appalling video of stray cats and dogs being stuffed into wire cages like sardines, dropped off the side of trucks, and skinned for their fur, it's easy to see why Amanda Beard felt the need to shed light on the situation... hope it reduces the suffering and grim fate of future animals.

Hacker Uncovers Chinese Olympic Fraud

It’s not China so much as the IOC. The IOC apparently is uninterested in pursuing such issues, preferring to take the word of the Host.
The USSR/East Block countries did some interesting bending of the rules years back and very little happened to any of them.
So cheating will only be enforced against athletes who don’t have direct Government backing.

This is typical of how the IOC has bowed very low to China in every way, regarding these Olympics. From lax to a lack of, enforcement of even the mildest of prerequisites China agreed to in order to secure Beijing as the host city, to staying mum while China stops athletes from competing based on their politcal beliefs, the IOC have shown what they are really about: the money!
