a crime to speak out for human rights?

Bush administration looking at charging Chinese dissident with a crime

The woman had the nerve - the nerve, I tell you - to tell the Chinese dictator visiting Washington to stop the torture and the killing.

And for that the Secret Service is considering charging her with "intimidating a foreign official."

Yes. Great message to send to the Chinese. Bush tells them to welcome free speech, then moments later we threaten this women with jail for speaking out against China's horrible human rights record.

Maybe it's time for someone in China to speak out against our human rights record too.
