Rice On Chinese Political Prisoner: What Political Prisoner?

Condoleezza Rice is heading to China July 8-9, to talk about North Korea.

No word on why now, while China has imprisoned Dr. Jiang (see below) for over a month for writing a letter to party leaders asking them to take responsibility for the Tiananmen Square Massacre of 1989. Who's holding him (again, see below)? Arrested by the highest military command in China, he is now under the control of high party officials -- not even *formally* arrested or charged.

I mean, people, it was a letter. Must have been a hell of a letter.

Which reminds me, I need to write my parents.
