- Tibetan monks 'surrounded' by Chinese troops
  Posted by Jeff from MSNBC
  Chinese troops fired tear gas at Tibetan monks protesting Chinese occupation of Tibet and later surrounded their monasteries. Is the growing spotlight on Tibetan independence a positive result of granting the Olympics to China or has this been a major mistake? Perhaps you've read about athlete's worrying about air pollution at the games, the U.S. importing their own meat to avoid the steroids laden in Chinese food, China's alleged mistreatment of migrant workers working on Olympic sites and its efforts at building a road to Everest base camp for the torch relay.

- Rights group hits China on treatment of migrants
  Posted by Jeff from Boston Globe
  The report cataloged a variety of deprivations suffered by the estimated 1 million to 2 million migrant workers employed on construction sites before the Summer Olympics in Beijing: a lack of safety equipment, crowded and unhygienic dormitories, no medical care, arbitrary fines by bosses, and unpaid wages.

- Hundreds of monks protest in Tibet
  Posted by Jeff from Guardian UK
  Hundreds of Tibetan monks have taken to the streets of Lhasa in the biggest protest against communist rule in almost two decades, it emerged today. The show of defiance - which took place on the anniversary of a failed anti-Chinese uprising in 1959 - raised tensions in the Himalayan region, as the world spotlight shifts to Beijing's often harsh rule ahead of the Olympics.

Hacker Uncovers Chinese Olympic Fraud

One of the many tragedies of the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina three years ago was the fact that insurance companies used the event to systematically deny claims, leaving victims further in desperate straits. That shouldn’t happen following any natural disaster, and even though the immediate storm effects did not cause as much damage as predicted, there are sure to be plenty of claims for flood damages throughout the Midwest and along Gustav’s path. If you or someone you know has been denied an insurance claim related to Gustav: that would be a site you should visit.

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.

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!
