Craig, I think the human righs issues regarding China are very well known. The problem is, money trumps all. Which explains why so many politicians will denounce China's abuse of human and cultural rights in Tibet, then go on to say any Olympics boycott is out of the question. They aim the first part at their home audience, and the second at China.
