BADEN BADEN, Germany - The Dalai Lama warned Wednesday of a fresh uprising in Tibet in the "very tense" run-up to the 50th anniversary of the failed rebellion against Chinese rule that prompted his flight into exile.
"Today there is too much anger... The situation is very tense," said the 73-year-old Tibetan Buddhist spiritual leader during a visit to the German spa town of Baden Baden.
"At any moment there can be an outburst of violence," he told a group of journalists. "This is my worry because with more uprising, there will be more crackdown. Things are very sad."
He added: "It is so tense that the Chinese military have their hands on the trigger when they carry weapons... So long as there is a Chinese military presence, there will be tension."
"Since public execution is difficult, they use torture when Tibetans are detained, As soon as people are arrested, they use torture -- and sometimes they kill them."
Next month marks the 50th anniversary of a failed uprising by Tibetans against communist Chinese rule -- a violent episode that prompted the Dalai Lama's flight into exile in India.

And amazingly, they get MFN status.
Free Tibet, no. Free China!
Time to send in all 40 of those murder busses I was reading about yesterday.
They won’t be using water boarding either.
