I had the pleasure of watching the Olympics on the BBC in Scotland, without the endless American ads for beer and trucks (wonder why we have a drunk driving problem?)and without the narrow views of the US press. The British and Scottish media were, of course, very proud of the great job their athletes did, but they also praised the Chinese, the Americans, and the Jamaicans. Not once did they discuss the legal status of any athlete or his or her family. Thanks for making us all aware of this issue. Joan Excellent article.

I haven't read many people taking this issue to task! Maybe they think your points attack free speech. Naa...I'm sure the only people who'd bring up that argument are the people who like to point the finger and fail to realized that nothings free...with freedom comes responsibility and respect for human dignity....it's that simple Thanks for writing about this!
