Once again it appears that the IOC doesn't care about much but money and pleasing a host country and city at all costs to avoid financial hiccups. They've given in to all demands that China has made so far, and is refusing to pressure China on human rights, the Tibet issue, pollution, etc. It's sad to know it's a bunch of unregulated crooks with a disgusting track record in charge of such a prestigious event. remember Salt lake city?
