The Olympics have always been and will continue to be political, and often times used as a significant propaganda vehicle by the host nation.

Really how in good conscience can we send our athletes, coaches, media, delegations etc. to China while our citizens continue to rot in Chinese prisons?

EDIT: I would not be surprised if China released the two Michaels prior to the games for these very reasons.
