There is an image and a story traveling around the internet in emails and plastered all over the blogosphere right now that needs to be addressed.
I received an email thru my Buddhist community's email list. The article claims British intelligence has taken images, via satellite, of Chinese soldiers dressed as Tibetans starting the recent violence in Lhasa, Tibet. The image that accompanied the article is quite startling and appears to be quite damning evidence of Chinese soldiers carrying the robes of Buddhist monks, apparently at the ready to don the robes and start some trouble sometime during the recent unrest in Lhasa and elsewhere in Tibet.
However, the photo seemed somewhat familiar to me... like I had seen it somewhere before... that and the fact that the image's angle tells me that it could not have been taken from a satellite raised my curiosity level and prompted me to look into the truth of these claims and origin of the image. The results of which I wish to share and encourage the reader to pass on.
Rather than repost my entire blog entry here (which uncovers and explains the origins of this photo and article), please read the entry and feel free to comment/discuss it here or there.
