White House Press Corps have problems at the airport

Staying on the subject of the Olympics,the Huffington Post reports that a plane load of American journalists were detained for three hours at Beijing airport.Just to make matters worse it was the White House Press Corps

The flight crew of the Northwest Airlines 747 had been expecting to park at a VIP terminal, but after landing was instead directed by the control tower to a normal international gate.
White House officials would say only there were "logistical problems" getting clearance to unload the aircraft. The flight crew was told the Chinese were insisting that all luggage be inspected.


So much for journalistic freedom during the games
