The articles in my previous two posts ran on the same page of my local newspaper. The Chinese article featured the large subheadline:

"China hijacked the terrorism issue and used [it] to justify its repression of religious freedom and ethnic minorities," said Mike Jendrzejczyk, Washington director of Human Rights Watch's Asia division. "It's a very worrying trend. For years, China has used its anti-subversion legislation to try to repress dissidents. Now it's adding to that anti-terrorism to crack down and justify [it] on terrorism grounds."

Which, of course, describes almost perfectly the desires of the U.S. in Colombia. The only question is whether the layout in the paper was intentional, or accidental?
