Some days ago I read that the Brits already had to sign obligatory agreements that they will keep their mouth shut. It was the British givernment ordering them to do it, not the chinese, as far as I know.
I think it were the Brits. correct me if I am wrong. I am sure that similiar things happen in many other national olympic commitees as well.
Freedom of speech given up for Olympia. Bah.

also, traditionally and historically, participating nations were obligated, at leats in ancient times, to keep up peace and have seize-fires at least for thew duration of the games. But the brutal supression and murdering in Tibet will continue before during and after the games. So, if Olympics really would mean anything, ironically not others would need to consider to boycott, but China had to be banned for violating this ancient tradition.
