For two decades, Kashmiris have lived in one of the most militarized regions of the world, with 800,000 troops stationed in the 15,520 sq km (5,992 sq mile) Kashmir Valley and operating under laws that give them impunity from prosecution. Charges of extrajudicial killings, rapes, abductions and torture were leveled against them with chilling regularity during the 1990s. The Indian government has consistently denied Kashmiri calls to demilitarize, saying the terror infrastructure across the border in Pakistan has yet to be dismantled.

The game was effectively over. "Our biggest strength is our depth," Bryant said after the game, asked if the U.S. was concerned by how competitive the first half had been. "We will try to pressure you, and wear you down eventually...
...Australia's coach, the American born Brian Goorjian, agreed that the depth, intensity and athleticism the U.S. has brought to Beijing makes them tough to prepare for - let alone defeat. "When I sat up last night thinking about the game, I thought, can you play a team at that level for 40 minutes? They are playing great together, and everyone's contributing. They're going to be very, very tough to beat...
