Today in Olympics Defense
 

• China is upset with the media complaining about limited freedoms, even though the country promised to lighten up when it bid for the Olympics. Roughing up British journalists and keeping greens free from demonstrators, says China, "does not mean we are not fulfilling our promise." [WSJ]

• The Spanish are upset that everyone is calling them racists, even though their Olympics basketball team was photographed pulling their eyes into slants to imitate the Chinese. It's our fault for "gratuitously" trying to "damage the image not just of the federation but of the country and Spanish sport" in general by assuming they were having a joke at China's expense, and not celebrating athletic brotherhood with them.
