For a decade, the International Olympic Committee allowed Saddam Hussein’s son Uday to imprison, torture, and kill Iraq’s Olympic athletes without a word.
Meanwhile, the IOC, much like it did Germany in 1936, gives China a free ride despite the imprisonment, torture, and execution of political prisoners and asks that nobody politicize the Olympics.
It is fascinating then that the IOC decided that the current Iraqi Olympic committee has suffered political interference and therefore Iraqi athletes were banned from participating in the Beijing Olympics.
The IOC remains one of the most corrupt organizations on the face of the earth. No wonder, then, that it got along so well with the equally corrupt Saddamist regime, and enjoys such close relations with the equally corrupt Communist Chinese regime.
