So it isn't so, the Chinese are censoring the press at the Olympics. A communist regime is violating human rights and lied to the grossly incompetent IOC?
China will censor the Internet used by foreign media during the Olympics, an organising committee official confirmed Wednesday, reversing a pledge to offer complete media freedom at the games.
"During the Olympic Games we will provide sufficient access to the Internet for reporters," said Sun Weide, spokesman for the organising committee.
He confirmed, however, that journalists would not be able to access information or websites connected to the Falungong spiritual movement which is banned in China.
Other sites were also unavailable to journalists, he said, without specifying which ones.
Do you get the feeling this is just the beginning?

have you seen the AIR POLLUTION problem in China? Pictures from there NOW look like a heavy fog...and that's with cars only able to drive on odd or even days!
AND, they're still digging algae out of the lakes where rowing is supposed to take place.
Honestly, I think these games are going to be a FIASCO and I can't help think Paul Hamm bowed out less for a knee injury than just plain fear of being there with the terrorism threats, too. LOUSY times for the Olympics. sad
And, of course, we'll be regaled to FIVE MILLION in ads for Obama..another reason not to watch!!
