The Chinese army fired on the crowd Monday in Tibet, perhaps 140 killed
PARIS - The Dalai Lama accused the Chinese army to have "fired on the crowd" on August 18 in the region of Kham in eastern Tibet, and put the figure, which "needs to be confirmed," 140 Tibetans killed, in an interview with the french daily Le Monde dated Friday.
As a journalist who asked if the "repression in Tibet had continued despite the Olympic Truce", the Dalai Lama replied that "the Chinese army has yet fired on the crowd, Monday, August 18, in the region of Kham, in the east of Tibet ".
"One hundred and forty Tibetans have been killed, but this figure needs to be confirmed," said the Tibetan spiritual leader, with a pastoral visit to France.
It's hoping against hope, but maybe stuff like this makes the morons mentioned above realize how great they have it in this so called "Bush/Cheney dictatorship" they loathe so much.

Sickening people.So backward.
Wonder if N.B.C. will air this report?
I don’t care who you are, that theres funny.
You all are so quick to condemn the Chinese Communists who, after all, supply us with tons and tons of merchandise we buy from the big box stores.
The Chinese have been misunderstood on this one. What they were doing was developing a new Olympic sport: seeing how many innocents you can shoot within a short period of time.
See how artful the ChiComs are?
