Cheaters!

In the days before their World Cup opener against host China last September, members of the Danish women's soccer team say they faced ongoing harassment that culminated in the discovery of two men attempting to secretly videotape a team meeting at their hotel through a two-way mirror.
So I realize that I've become somewhat of a Chinese apologist since I got here, but this one's pretty indefensible.  Plus I'm pretty sure the Danish coach's story is true.  Inside the country, the Chinese government is pretty cocky and assumes (usually rightly) it can get away with just about anything. 

I really really doubt China will try anything like this in Beijing though.  Too much at stake.
