And they're outta there! China deports American protesters

I like the part where dude says "Washington should prevent this from happening again." Not clear on the concept! We are a free country and our government can't prevent us from expressing ourselves (yet).

China deported five American tourists after they demonstrated for a free Tibet and protested against the 2008 Beijing Olympics at the base of
Mount Everest, and said it had urged Washington to prevent a recurrence.

China made "solemn representation" with the United States, demanding it ensure American tourists abide by Chinese laws and not engage in any illegal activities, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said on Friday.

"The U.S. side ... should prevent similar incidents from happening again," the ministry said in a faxed statement.
