...crime of practicing their beliefs. One hundred fifty of the movement’s leaders have already died in police custody. Meanwhile, China continues to try its citizens in lightning-fast court proceedings, executing them for minor offenses like tax evasion and afterwards harvesting their organs without donor consent.

No one politically linked to Bush is known to have been paid to pursue the Cox clemency. And Bush...
