China accuses Dalai Lama of CIA links

[Township75]

BEIJING (Reuters) - An official Chinese commentary accused the Dalai Lama on Wednesday of collaborating with the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, rejecting the Tibetan leader's overtures and casting a shadow over fence-mending talks.

The Dalai Lama, who fled his homeland in 1959 after a failed uprising against Chinese rule, has proposed a "Middle Way" policy seeking autonomy but not independence for Tibet.

But the online edition of the China Daily, the government's English-language mouthpiece, rejected the Dalai Lama's overtures in an unsigned commentary.

"In the name of 'organizing armed troops to fight their way back into Tibet', he collaborated with the Indian military and American CIA to organize the 'Indian Tibetan special border troops'," the commentary said without elaborating.

1. Talk aboutchur keen reads on people's personalities...

You have to git up pretty early in the morning to pull the wool over the eyes of that Chinese government, yessireebob.

4. yeah, right? The Dalai Lama, who has striven for nothing but peace

who has had his country yanked out from underneath by these same people, forcing him to live in exile.

The Chinese Gov't really lacks credibility on this issue, IMO.

Hi Old Crusoe! :hi:

5. Hey there Ixion. A good morning to you.

I don't have clinical evidence in my hand to disprove the claim by the Chinese government, but since this is the Chinese government that in the past has been ruthless and brutal, my guess is they're running a Karl Rove end-run around the fact.

It's a smear job on the Dalai Lama, one of the most peaceful folks on earth.

I'm with ya all the way.

:hi:

8. Exactly. I'd sooner believe the crazy drunk guy on the corner than the

Chinese government on matters of internal dissent.

2. BREAKING: Robert Novak found Dalai Lama's CIA ties in Who's Who!

Reportedly, the Dalai Lama, a CIA employee, sent Richard Gere on a "junket" to Tibet, where Gere was lived high on the hog.

Dalai Lama's gonna die outside the country.
