Torch Show Bookings: Kissel WSJ and Rachman FT confirmed


The good news is that Mary Kissel of the Asia WSJ editorial page editor is booked for midnight Eastern from LA, and Gideon Rachman the roaming foreign affairs columnist for the FT is book at 9 Eastern from NY.   I have also asked Tashi Wangdi, His Holiness' representative to the Americas, to lead the NY show at 7 Eastern.  And I am hoping for a Uighur voice, Nury Turkel of the Uighur American Association, in the first hour in LA.  
The mix of the two strong liberation movements is fertile ground for the show: this is liberty in the 21st century, you attack at the weak points.  The Beijing cadre built the opera and forgot about the fact that Mt. Everest is in an occupied country.
The side of the angels is winning.  The liberty game is viral.  Hu is confounded.  He whines, "What did I do?"
