The fact is there is nothing silly about it.

Fine i accept your reasoning that term criminal should be used carefully. But the fact still is there is nothing silly to try to seek criminals who have hurt, killed, destroyed, loot, etc. SOme of those pictures shows criminals in action already.

Fact two the western media have been extreme bias towards China, and many have already abuse their so call freedom to crop picture of violent Tibetans in their reporting. The so call free press with the exception of few (notably the LA Times, which has presented a very fair picture of the events, showing the violence, telling how some tibetans are trying to save the Hans, etc)doesnt really have the moral high ground to act superior over their Chinese counterparts. The Chinese Media really have no choice, the western media has yet they abuse it.

So in the end, there is nothing silly about what the Chinese government is doing. The only thing Silly is the west who thinks the Chinese are being horribly brainwashed, are just as brainwashed if not even worse. Propaganda COMES 2 WAYS.
