China had guarateed that the media would have "complete freedom" while covering the Olympics, well now it seems that they had lied in order to be able to host the Olympics.

Really shouldn't be THAT much of a surprise to most people.

How can one country be soooo paranoid. China's paranoia is just ridiculous!
