Anybody notice this?
With Hong Kong about to host the mephistophelian WTO conference,
they're killing strikers. Certainly shows complete disregard for
spin, doesn't it?

Reports: Police fatally shoot protesters in China
Southern Chinese village sealed off after up to 20 demonstrators
killed

BEIJING - Armed with guns and shields, hundreds of riot police
sealed off a southern Chinese village after fatally shooting as
many as 20 demonstrators and were searching for the protest
organizers, according to villagers and a newspaper report Saturday.
If that death toll is confirmed it would be the deadliest known
use of force by security forces against Chinese civilians since
the killings around Tiananmen Square in 1989, and marked an
escalation in the social protests that have convulsed the Chinese
countryside.
During the demonstration Tuesday in Dongzhou, a village in
southern Guangdong province, thousands of people gathered to
protest the amount of money offered by the government as
compensation for land to be used to construct a wind power plant.
