China fails in promise to allow media freedom during Olympics

Two Japanese reporters were beaten by Chinese paramilitary police in Kashgar, site of the deadly truck attack against local police just one day prior. China has apologized for the situation, but made a clear promise in negotiating for the Olympics to allow unfettered media access during the Olympics, which begin in three days. So I guess technically they have kept their promise, as they have a few more days to keep trampling on basic human freedoms without actually breaking their word.
