China puts muzzle on Olympic critics

"British Olympic chiefs are to force athletes to sign a contract promising not to speak out about China's appalling human rights record – or face being banned from travelling to Beijing. The move – which raises the spectre of the order given to the England football team to give a Nazi salute in Berlin in 1938 – immediately provoked a storm of protest."

It's disgusting that China is even allowed to host the Olympics. I realize that no country is perfect, but China's track record of oppression and atrocities is particularly disturbing. The Olympics should be about unity and peace, not about sweeping dirt under the rug.
