AP Story: China lacks freedoms?

Of particular note:

"...citing alleged torture, state control of basic aspects of daily life, tight controls on religion and harassment of foreign charities."

We don't do any of that in the U.S. do we?

"Forced relocations went up last year, the report said. It noted claims that people were forced from their homes to make way for Olympic projects in Beijing."

Um... would this be like eminent domain?

"The government tightened restrictions on freedom of speech and the press, "

Please. This is the kind of hypocritical crap that really makes us look bad and then we wonder why other countries hate us.
