Controlympics: China Deports Westerners
The BBC is reporting that China has released the Westerners detained for protesting during the Olympics:
China has deported eight Americans detained in Beijing last week for demonstrating about Tibet during the Olympic Games. The eight left China on Sunday while the closing ceremony was taking place after American officials pressed for them to be released.
The eight should be thankful: they were spared the horror of actually having to watch the closing ceremony.
