The worst may be yet to come...

Yes, it was bad that the Chinese authorities arrested people after the peaceful protests of March 10 the party-line cannot permit any criticism.
Yes, it was bad that they stirred up the violence themselves in Lhasa, in order to have some nice videos to present to the outside world to prove how bad Tibetans are (When Lhasa was burning, no police was found anywhere in an area where 1 in 20 are police/soldier).
Then it was bad they arrested thousands of people who are held under terrible conditions; besides torture the prisoners are virtually deprived of food and medical treatment.
Next it was bad that the Chinese authorities went back to the 're-education' techniques of the Cultural Revolution - probably the darkest page of China's entire history. Now the monks are refusing to be re-educated...

Not long ago, the Chinese government began to spread absurd rumors of Tibetan suicide bombers - I suppose under the guidance of China's Bin Laden: the Dalai Lama. Now, Chinese authorities are claiming to find stores of weapons at monasteries.

So much for history.

There are now thousands of Tibetans in prisons who only cost money. More and more refuse to be tortured into a proper patriotic attitude. China cannot afford to lose more face over this - as far as they still have a face...
There is one argument in the last decade that seems to give everyone a 'justification' to arbitrarily kill and torture people (thank you USA...) - and the magic word is terrorism.

I hope this is just my paranoia, but I fear that China might use this argument to complete their fascist genocide in Tibet. It is surely not hard to drug a few Tibetan prisoners, decorate them with bombs and send them out into a few shopping malls... Of course accidentally in full view of TV cameras. That will prove that all Tibetans are terrorist suicide bombers, so you can justifiably execute everyone in prison, and anyone else you don't like (just like the 'good old times of the Cultural Revolution).
Mind you, the current Chinese leaders were very busy making a good career-start around that time...
With a bit of luck, you can even harvest their organs - that way you can reimburse the poor Chinese shopkeepers in Lhasa whose shops your own soldiers and police set on fire...

If any western country protests, you can just refer back that China is helping Mr. Bush in his fantastic global war on terrorism and destroy the axis of evil which now lies in Tibet and is led by 'Osama Bin Lama'.

Please, please pray with me that my paranoia mind is utterly wrong and the Tibetan prisoners are not tortured to death or summarily executed, but let free instead.
