I did a search for it on Google.cn.

Guess what.

Couldn't find it.

I watched the show last night. It was an informative recounting of the events just before the Tiannamen Square Massacre with a lot of footage I hadn't seen before.

Serves as a reminder as to the wonderful neaderthals we're doing business with.

Tank man is one guy who would not have to climb a fence to get in my country! We need gutsy people like him. I'm sure he would not be running around in the streets throwing a hissey fit and waving the Mexican flag!

Frontline also had the show, "Gunning For Saddam" http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/gunning/ that talked about his WMD programs and ties to terrorism, including interviews with defectors and video footage taken by UN Inspectors (before they were kicked out).

Whatever happened to him, I wonder?...........

Every once in awhile, Frontline comes up with a gem. The Rwanda special they did years ago, really nailed Clinton and Albright.

Here's another take from a Freeper: The Man With the Briefcase.

I recall reading that the tank man was tried in one of their kangaroo courts and shot. This was at least 5 years ago. I don't recall the source and hope that the information is false. He was (and hopefully still is) a courageous man.

I saw that show last night on PBS...and was interested in the interview with the four Beijing University students...who proclaimed utter bafflement at the Tank Man photo.

I did briefly hear when they huddled, the young man of the group say between themselves..."1989".

They knew. Or at least he did.

They didn't dare REVEAL they knew.

I caught the last half. Very good TV. And you will NEVER look at Google and Yahoo search pages again in the same way.

In 1998, I stood in Tienanmen Square looking at the scuff marks in the concrete the tank's tracks had left. I tried to take a photo of the marks because I felt their significance in Chinese history.

Unfortunately, when the film were developed, the marks appeared as just another shadow on the pavement.

With the passing of time, I wonder will his and the other's efforts end up as just another shadow on the pavement of China's history or are the marks for reform deeply inscribed?
