The fault lies with the Olympic Organizing comittee for giving the games to China, i agree. And yes, Athletes who criticize China while there or make political gestures will be told to leave the country.

Another thing that sickens me is from a few months back when Congrss passed a resolution sayng that no one from the U.S. Government should in anyway represent the USA in any official capacity as a protest to China's human rights record. THEN later that day Bush deliberatley makes his announcement he will be going to the games and praised China. ( Doing it the same day, just in spite of congress) What a scum sucking Pig.
