Looking closely at the pictures I see that you are right Xeno, different pictures have been sent around the globe from this same "event". Seeing a pic like this does ruffle me a bit too, thinking it to be a terrible consequence of an incapable leadership of the exiled Tibetans. Since Judy takes such offense of this picture I could delete it just to make her happy. Problem is that the "delete" button she mentions doesn't appear on my web-viewer.
