Xinjiang commies, Xinjiang executions

If you thought all Uighurs/Xinjiangers were fighting for the independence of East Turkestan, this video might be of interest to you. The Opposite End of China brings to our attention an excellent PBS documentary China from the Inside which features some very interesting footage such as a rare interview with Ismayil Tiliwadi, Governor of Xinjiang and new Uighur members of the CCP taking the communist oath. For some of them, the experience is akin to a religious conversion.

And just in from AP and Reuters: death/jail sentences have been given out to a few Xinjiang separatists described as members of the East Turkestan Islamic Movement. Both reports agreed that "Three were sentenced to death, two received suspended death sentences and the sixth was jailed for life."
