I came across these photos on Facebook after a friend posted it to another friend's wall. I was quite shocked to see these photos, but in particular the first one, where Chinese soldiers are carrying the robes of Tibetan Monks. It seems quite clear that this photo is not doctored, nor that they are in the act of confiscating the robes...so without speculating too much, it makes you wonder. The other two photos are of an alleged "Tibetan protestor" who attacks a torch-bearer, and in the second photo you see this same person marching with Chinese supporters. Is he Chinese or Tibetan? Who knows, once again lot of speculation... - and I personally, won't get into a tirade of paranoid suggestions, but it makes you wonder. Here's where this comes from: http://biglizards.net/blog/archives/2008/04/forget_it_its_c.html
