Thanks for the readers who forwarded:

  • The Hines Ward story made the Washington Post. It doesn’t add too much new information, but I do like to see the issue get covered here.
  • Transparency is a mixed blessing for China on the Sujiatun story:

    It appears the claims by Falun Gong have been at least substantially exaggerated. Initial investigations by researchers for a US congressional committee have identified the site at Sujiatun as a hospital, where it is suspected organ harvesting occurs but on nowhere near the scale claimed by Falun Gong.

    Heave a long sigh of relief. China is running a chop-shop for human beings, but just an eensy one (I’ll wait for the final report before I draw any firm conclusions). As I said from the start: there’s no harm in allowing people to take a closer look.

  • Is there a new constituency for free speech in South Korea? The problem I have with stories like this is first, that I wonder if the Chosun Ilbo is puffing it, and second, that I also wonder whether these “liberals” would support freedom of speech they don’t agree with.
