US exploiting "Free Tibet" crowd as pawns

Writing for a Tasmanian newspaper Mercury, Australian columnist Greg Barns observes that the "Free Tibet crowd" are "being used as pawns by the US" in the recent anti-Chinese riot in Lhasa and also worldwide anti-Olympic "protests". Barns also opines that "the possibility, or indeed the probability", that the recently rebuilt US paramilitary Special Operation Group (SOG) as well as other CIA operatives "have had some role(s) in fuelling unrest in Tibet over the past few weeks" cannot be ruled out.
