UN Torture Investigators Arrive In China...

... (a) seeking to determine which techniques can be passed on to their peacekeepers?

... (b) seeking to determine what this mystical technique known as Chinese water torture is all about and whether they can somehow blame it on the US? or

... (c) and discovers that China has no torture and they base this on the fact that the government told them so. So did all the people that the government told the investigators to speak to.

If you said (c) - you'd probably be correct. (A) and (B) are just too funny not to include. This is the UN after all.

A top U.N. investigator on torture began a tour of China on Monday, the culmination of a decade-long effort by the world body to visit the country's detention centers to investigate allegations of human rights abuses.

Manfred Nowak, the U.N. Human Rights Commission's special investigator on torture, is to visit Tibet and the Muslim-majority region of Xinjiang in the northwest, both places where the communist government is trying to crush separatist sentiment.

His office said he will meet with government officials and get a firsthand look at Chinese detention centers, according to a statement released after his arrival in Beijing. He said earlier that China had not imposed any conditions on his trip.

They've been trying for a decade to get in to examine the detention centers? They haven't been trying very hard.
