Leave China alone

Before an American secretary of state gets up on her hind legs and lectures the rest of the world about ‘the darker events of its past,’ complaining about the lack of ‘a public accounting of those killed, detained, or missing,’ let’s look at the record: in 1993, then-attorney general Janet Reno ordered the murder of 76 people in Waco, Texas, on grounds that didn’t sound all that credible at the time, and, in retrospect, turn out to have been entirely dubious and self-serving. Can it really be that the U.S. government — yes, the same people who ordered this and this — is hectoring China for unlawful detention? As a great philosopher once said, oh, puh-leeeeeeeze!
