Inform EVERY attendee and athlete of the expected and acceptable behaviors. Kick out the troublemakers - who, BTW, are not the ones doing nothing more than waving their own national flags. I know, this is just a pipe dream. :-/

What would you have the Olympic Committee do or say?

Keep their mouth shut if this is their reaction. The report I read may be a rumor, but all hell will break loose if it is true. Do they expect our kids to accept their medals on their knees? Wave the flag as they always do, and if they get booed-which they won't-let America and the world see it.

The Muslim Fanatics will try to kill them at the Olympics. Whatever negative happens, it will be "framed" as Bush's fault. If I had a kid on the Olympic team, I would be very fearful for him or her this year. Security in Greece is a joke.
