Avian Flu and China: An Hour Later You STILL Can't Trust Them

And we're seriously considering letting these people buy a US oil company? Oh wait, that's right: they own so much of our debt, that we couldn't possibly turn them down on that. But then there's this:

The United Nations health agency says an influenza outbreak among migratory birds in Northwestern China is far worse than the government had reported.
World Health Organization experts who recently visited China's northwestern province of Qinghai told reporters that five times as many birds have died of the avian flu there as originally reported.
The agency estimates five-thousand wild birds died sometime during the spring on an island in Qinghai. In late May, the Chinese government put the number of dead at only one-thousand.
Dr. Julie Hall, the WHO's coordinator for communicable diseases in China, said this is the first time that migratory birds have been found to die from the avian flu in such numbers.
She urged Chinese authorities to conduct immediate tests for the H5N1 virus, before the birds migrate to neighboring countries.

Not to scare the shit out of anyone, but SOMEONE SHOULD PAY ATTENTION to this sort of thing, so when Treasury Secretary John Snow says it's a bad idea to push back against China, someone can call BULLSHIT.
All I can say is, I'm happy to see Lou Dobbs calling BULLSHIT on some of this. He seems to be doing to China what he's been doing to illegal immigration. Right or wrong, at least someone is talking about it on the national stage.
