Anger mounts over Everest torch plans

A new Olympic torch protest has broken out, among journalists. They are upset at China's plans for press coverage of the torch's ascent of Everest, which was supposed to be a grand PR coup. But reporters complain that the decision to whisk them to the 16,800ft Everest base camp within three days could endanger their health. The rushed schedule underscores Beijing's unease over Tibet because the journalists are going to be rushed through the country to the Himalayas. (Via Boston Globe)
