"U.S. Rep. Chris Smith, who has made human rights issues a cornerstone of his congressional career, encountered governmental restrictions first hand this week in the city where the Olympics will soon be held. "Smith, along with a Virginia congressman, had hoped to discuss human rights with three lawyers during a trip to Beijing, China, but police detained the lawyers." http://www.nj.com/timesoftrenton/stories/index.ssf?/base/news-4/121497156693810.xml&coll=5
