  1. >>The White House said Bush's attendance at the ceremony was not a political statement.
    "He believes he's going to China to support first and foremost our athletes. He sees this as
    a sporting competition," said spokeswoman Dana Perino.

    But the sensitivity of the issue was apparent in the timing of the announcement on the eve
    of a three-day holiday, when media attention was focused elsewhere. <<

    Ah yes, the good old politicians' magic trick: "Let's give the sensitive news
    when no-one is listening or looking" ;-)

  2. All the Human Rights activists must be using 90% of those products which have "Made in China" labels.
