Re: [Swprograms] OT: Beijing Olympics

[atlsvo@xxxxxxxxx (maryanne kehoe)]

I didn't believe a thing Wang Wei said to me 3 years ago in Moscow. He's
slime. During Athens, the Free Tibet people were attempting to talk to
the Chinese officials and Amnesty International in London has published
an update on their website about the communications issues that were
raised and the subsequent broken promises ever since then. 

I am writing an article that is touching on some of these issues. The
IOC is taking a hard-line stance that they are *not* a political
organisation, in fact, Giselle Davis (their communications director whom
I got to know in Prague last year) made those statements, but I do think
she *does* have an understanding that these are serious issues that
people are raising and she is not an unreasonable person, so I think it
is a matter of education on all sides, especially in the next several
years. 

Hubby and I will be in Singapore next July for the 2012
festivities----from what I am hearing, Paris just about has it all
locked up.

Spotted this on the CNNSI "Daily Top Ten" page and thought a few here
might chuckle.  Or might not.
 
" 6. NBC finished with a 15.0 cumulative rating for the Athens Olympics,
nine percent better than the 13.8 it achieved in Sydney. The network now
has high hopes for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, especially since NBC
and Chinese organizers have already established a terrific working
relationship. Communist government officials have reportedly expressed
great admiration for the way that NBC controls Olympic information. "
