BEIJING (Reuters) - China's Communist Party leadership, reacting to World Health Organisation criticism that Beijing is not reporting all cases of the SARS virus, has promised there will be no cover up, newspapers said on Friday.

"There must be no delay and no deceit in reporting," state newspapers quoted the all-powerful Politburo Standing Committee as saying after a special meeting chaired by party boss Hu Jintao on Thursday.


The nine-man committee also promised greater international cooperation on the disease, which first appeared in China in November and has now spread about 25 countries. It has killed more than 160 people globally and infected more than 3,500.

ChiComs couldn't tell the truth if their lives depended on it. Which it does.

No deceit in reporting? Hey start with all the millions in bribe money you gave Bill and Hillary and the DNC in trade for the Crown Jewels of our nuclear and missle technology!!!

I heard on one of the cable news shows this evening that Beijing has suspended classes/activities at a university, apparently SARS related.
