In fact, the U.S. electorate agrees that Bush and his outlaw
associates deserve the same justice being prepared for Bosnian Serb
war criminal Radovan Karadzic who was arrested last week.
For the record, a short list of the Bushies who deserve punishment for
CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY include:
Bush, of course, Cheney, Rove, Wolfowitz, Franks, Rumsfeld, Bremer,
Gonzales, Rice, Powell, Yoo, Brown, Addington, Feith, Pace, Myers, and
numerous U.S. contractor personnel.
In the meantime, Bushie is happily giving interviews to the Communist-
controlled Chinese "media," whose "reports" and productions will never
be read or viewed by 1.3 billion citizens. And the White House war
criminal himself will never recognize his own interviews once the
slavemasters finish redacting and editing them.
But, in eight days or so, Bush will be settling in his seat at the
Opening Ceremonies beside his beloved fellow criminal head of state,
Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe. (Bush affectionately calls him "Bob.")
So, these Chinese CRIMINALS are what the IOC granted hosting rights to
an Olympics that promises to be the least joyous, most criminally-
controlled Games in memory.

"Bush Criticized for Interviews With State-Run Chinese Media"
By Dan Eggen
Washington Post Staff Writer
Thursday, July 31, 2008; A08
President Bush sat down yesterday for interviews with foreign
journalists, including two unusual media outlets: the People's Daily
newspaper and the Central China Television network, both controlled by
China's ruling Communist Party.
The two state-run organizations were subject to the same rules as
independent media companies, meaning they may edit the interviews as
they wish, White House officials said yesterday. The CCTV's report on
the interview is scheduled to be broadcast today, U.S. officials said.
The arrangement raises concerns among activist groups on both the
right and the left that criticize Beijing's heavy media censorship. It
came on the same day China announced that journalists will be
restricted in the Internet sites they can access while covering the
Olympics.
White House spokesman Gordon D. Johndroe said a People's Daily
correspondent participated in a roundtable with other Asian
newspapers, while CCTV had a one-on-one interview with Bush. He said
the White House will release full transcripts, as it always does with
such interviews.
"We don't place restrictions or ground rules on any press," Johndroe
said, adding in regard to CCTV: "We certainly expect that his
interview be broadcast, if not in full, then not edited in a way that
would in any way mischaracterize what he said."
Johndroe said Bush touched on the same themes of human rights and
religious freedom that he regularly talks about when discussing China.
Ellen Bork, executive director at the Project for the New American
Century, a conservative policy organization, said it is "a false
analogy" to compare CCTV to free-market communication companies. She
and other activists note that Chinese citizens are not free to access
the transcripts provided by the White House.
"It's surprising that someone who works in freedom would make that
kind of comparison," she said.
The interviews with state-run media illustrate the balancing act that
Bush is attempting as he prepares to become the first U.S. president
to attend a foreign Olympics. While resisting calls from human rights
groups to boycott the opening ceremonies, Bush met this week with
Chinese dissidents in Washington and has vowed to bring to Beijing a
message focused on human rights and religious freedom.
Bush had one prior interview with CCTV, in February 2002, according to
the White House. A CCTV reporter paraphrased Bush calling China "a
great country" and "a very intelligent, diligent nation with rich
natural resources," apparently with no criticism. During Bush's visit
to Beijing in 2005, China's main national news broadcast made no
mention of comments he made on religious freedom after a visit to a
church, according to Western news reports.
Johndroe said that a full transcript of the 2002 interview was not
readily available, but that officials were looking for it. It was not
posted on the White House Web site as of late yesterday.
Derek Mitchell, a senior fellow for Asia at the Center for Strategic
and International Studies, said state-run media in China "have a
record of saying they won't edit, and then turning around and editing
anyway."

"Defiant Chinese Harassed, Jailed Before Olympics"
"Crackdown Defies Vow Beijing Made to Be Host"
By Edward Cody
Washington Post Foreign Service
Saturday, August 2, 2008; A01
ZHENGDING, China -- Behind the gray walls and barbed wire of the
prison here, eight Chinese farmers with a grievance against the
government have been consigned to Olympic limbo.
Their indefinite detainment, relatives and neighbors said, is the
price they are paying for stirring up trouble as China prepares to
host the Beijing Games. Trouble, the Communist Party has made clear,
will not be permitted.
"My bet is the authorities won't let them out until after the
Olympics," said Wang Xiahua, a veteran anti-government agitator from
this farm town 180 miles southwest of Beijing and a supporter of the
imprisoned farmers.
The Olympic Games have become the occasion for a broad crackdown
against dissidents, gadflies and malcontents this summer. Although
human rights activists say they have no accurate estimate of how many
people have been imprisoned, they believe the figure to be in the
thousands.
The crackdown comes seven years after the secretary general of the
Beijing Olympic Bid Committee declared that staging the Games in the
Chinese capital would "not only promote our economy but also enhance
all social conditions, including education, health and human rights."
Now, human rights have been set back rather than enhanced, activists
say.
"The Olympics have reversed the clock," said Nicholas Bequelin, a Hong
Kong-based specialist for Human Rights in China.
Another foreign human rights advocacy group, Amnesty International,
came to a similar conclusion in a report issued Monday titled "The
Olympics Countdown -- Broken Promises."
"By continuing to persecute and punish those who speak out for human
rights, the Chinese authorities have lost sight of the promises they
made when they were granted the Games seven years ago," said Roseann
Rife, Amnesty's Asia-Pacific deputy director. "The Chinese authorities
are tarnishing the legacy of the Games."
The repressive atmosphere has intensified in part because senior
Communist Party officials seem to be just as determined to prevent
embarrassing protests -- which could be televised -- as they are to
avert terrorist attacks during the Olympics. In exhortations to
security forces, Public Security Ministry commanders and Xi Jinping,
the senior Communist Party leader in charge of Olympic preparations,
repeatedly have said that police must block any attempt to damage
China's image.
Despite these concerns, President Bush and many other world leaders
have accepted China's invitation to attend the Olympic opening
ceremony on Friday. After saying for months that the Games should be
viewed only as a sporting event, Bush met with Chinese rights
activists Tuesday and said he would use the opportunity to remind
President Hu Jintao of U.S. support for human rights. The Foreign
Ministry criticized his gesture, calling it interference in China's
internal affairs. But his decision to attend was still being
interpreted as endorsement of China's contention that the Olympic
Games are not an appropriate stage for human rights appeals.
Bequelin, the researcher at Human Rights in China, said the
opportunity for foreign governments to use the Olympics to pressure
China on human rights has passed in any case, because world leaders
are likely to be reluctant to embarrass Hu and other party leaders
with strong stands during China's moment in the sun.
"It is a new low for the international community to see all these
state leaders going to Beijing without saying anything about the
repressive environment in which the Games are being held," he added.
The Olympics were far from the minds of the Zhengding farmers when
they took on authorities a little more than a year ago. As is
frequently the case in China, their problem was a decision by local
authorities to seize their land to make way for economic development,
specifically an expansion of the airport for the nearby city of
Shijiazhuang. The land was taken, they said, but the full compensation
never made its way into their pockets.
After a series of protests, 10 of the disgruntled farmers were
arrested in June 2007. They were tried in a local court and convicted
in November of illegal gatherings and disrupting social stability. But
in January, relatives said, an appeals court in Shijiazhuang
overturned the convictions, citing lack of evidence, and they were
released pending a retrial.
In releasing them, police also warned that the protests had to stop,
particularly during the Olympic period. When they refused to back down
-- and after a Beijing reporter inquired about their fate -- the 10
were arrested again last month.
One took sick and had to be hospitalized, neighbors said, and another
was released after convincing authorities he would be quiet. The other
eight were confined to the Zhengding Detainment Center on the edge of
town, where a notice posted at the entrance says that during the
Olympic period, their families cannot visit or bring gifts, "except
cash."
Human rights activists said many of those imprisoned during the
Olympic crackdown are being held for short periods without formal
legal proceedings.
"Thousands of people, including petitioners who have gone to Beijing
seeking justice from the government, have been swept up in efforts to
clean up the city before the games," Amnesty International said in its
report issued Monday.
Traveling to Beijing to complain has a long history in China, dating
from imperial times and carried on since the Communist Party took over
in 1949. Chinese upset with their local party and government leaders
almost invariably express belief that national leaders would solve the
problem if only they were aware of it.
With increasing urgency, however, the central government has urged
local party officials to solve such problems on the spot to reduce the
number of people showing up in Beijing.
As a result, party officials in Zhengding and other such towns have
organized a series of meetings recently to receive citizen complaints.
But the other side of the coin has been reinforced determination by
security forces to prevent travel by dissidents determined to visit
the capital anyway.
Li Zijing, a 46-year-old surgeon who complained that a hospital in
Jiangxi province botched his kidney treatment, said he went to Beijing
in March for the second time to petition for redress. But Jiangxi
officials took him into custody and made him return, he said, and
since the beginning of July four or five people guard his house lest
he try again.
"No matter where we go, they follow us," he said. "They said they were
hired by the hospital, and surveillance will last for the next four
months. It is said the Olympics are approaching so they worry about us
petitioners."
Security forces seem determined to prevent those and other dissidents
from finding an echo in the media, human rights activists said,
particularly the foreign media that have been reinforced in China
during the Olympic period. To do so, they said, authorities have
devised a panoply of measures ranging from warnings, intimidation,
surveillance, travel restrictions and house arrest to outright
detention.
A well-known human rights activist in Beijing, for instance, sent this
cellphone message Wednesday afternoon: "The police come to my place,
waiting outside, and I do not know what they want to do with me." The
activist was detained for 18 days last month on suspicion of planning
protests during the Olympics. This time, she said, the police went
away after she refused to leave home.
Similarly, Yuan Weijing, the wife of imprisoned activist Chen
Guangcheng, said the number of guards watching her home in the
Shangdong province town of Linyi has risen from 10 to more than 40.
"Because of the Olympics approaching, people like me -- nothing more
than a rights defender's wife -- are being specially protected by the
government," she said in a statement disseminated by Human Rights in
China.
Two longtime activists were put under detention last week in what
amounted to unexplained extensions of earlier terms.
Du Daobin, a dissident Internet writer, was ordered back to jail July
24 after a court revoked an earlier suspended sentence just as the
probationary period was about to end. Authorities said he had violated
terms of the probation by posting comments on the Internet and
receiving unauthorized visitors at his Hebei province home.
Ye Guozhu, a housing rights activist in Beijing, was detained last
Saturday on suspicion of disturbing public order just as he was
scheduled to be released after serving an earlier jail term connected
to his anti-government agitation.
Ye's brother, Ye Guoqiang, told Human Rights in China that authorities
notified the family on the day of his scheduled release.
"Ye's brother said authorities refused to explain how Ye Guozhu could
gather a crowd to disturb public order while in prison," the rights
group reported. "Ye Guoqiang believes they intend to block possible
foreign media contact with his brother and will keep him in custody at
least until after the Beijing Olympic Games have ended."
