Stupid regime.

There won't be much controversy about the reporting of the games since the winners and losers are quite clear. You can't hide results.
And are journalists really going to be digging around for human rights stories during the 2 weeks or will they be too busy covering the actual sports?
The BIG story would be if something happened during the events.
I'm waiting for the first FREE TIBET t-shirt worn on the podium.
