What has brought about this change? Should I hold my breath waiting for his Hollywood buddies to do likewise? Lastly, will we see a change in the type of movies made by Spielberg? Has he got over his "Munich" silliness? Steven Spielberg is actually taking to task the evils committed by dark skin people. What has brought about this change?

These people, of course, were jailed.) That great Tom Lantos asked the bobble heads lined up in front of him: have any of you attempted to help the families of those unfortunates you have delivered into the hands of the Chinese Government? Amazing. It was so obvious that not one of those rich men (Yahoo was represented there, along with 3 other huge hi tech companies) had ever considered that he should be responsible for his very ugly action. I would imagine that China is in the midst of "sweeping" their Beijing streets clean of unsightly poor people, so as to impress the visitors to the Olympics. China is definitely not a nice country; congratulations to Spielberg for doing this.

I'm sure Spielberg was bothered by T'ian An Men, but probably rationalized it... in the past, etc. Darfur is the present. He did the right thing here.

Would it be uncharitable to ask why Darfur bothers him but T'ian An Men didn't? Good for him.

Roger, shouldn't somebody in PJM do an expose on what total pos crooks the IOC members are? I want the IOC to expire almost as much as the MSM.
