Could somebody please explain me why the Chinese blue men thought they would have any kind of rights over the police of a sovereign country? What would make them think that they above the law of another country?

gmygmygmy, you can save the chinese propaganda for yourself, you got good payment from your boss for your today's work. You don't want politics to mix with Olympics - well, it's the chinese government that uses the Olympics to show the "Glory of China". The reasons for holding the Olympics…

Now, whether the school etc is paid for depends on the condition of the transfer. Sometimes it's all covered, often is not. For a company executive it's often covered, for a researcher/assistant teacher nothing is covered. DeepAir65, if you got full treatment, lucky you, but I'm here on my own…

Harry Gatto, the problem is not whether they are "crazies" or not - the problem is whether they committed the crimes they are accused of or not. The prosecutor can't prove that, so they should be let free. And that shouldn't have taken 8 years.

So, we have a SUSPECT, who is not convicted of a murder, but nonetheless he already has to pay up for it, regardless whether he committed it or not. How about first convicting him, after a trial, and then making him pay? Now, however, since he's gone, he can't confess,…
