When I read the hard to decipher ‘news’ coming out of Chinese ruled Tibet this weekend I was sad and I thought that there was no way to know what was really going on. I am probably right about that for the most part, but there were foreign blogging tourists in Lhasa and they did what we do. They ‘blogged it.’

They took a calculated risk by taking some pictures and video. Some of this material may end up on the evening news. BBC left a comment on the blog.

I am not reflexively risk averse, but I am married to an incredibly quick witted woman who has a major GTFO response when anything dangerous is burgeoning around us. If we had been in Lhasa, there would not have been any pictures on my blog.
