No, nothing so obvious for the Post. Instead they use this (rather good) image of a young Tibetan monk peacefully reading
- and when you click on the story, it turns out he's not even in Tibet, but in Sichuan province.
So what's the connection? Does the Post buy in to China's absurd propaganda which sees every Tibetan monk as a secret agent of the Dalai Lama, a potential "splittist" revolutionary? Or is it just that a lazy sub-editor reached for the first vaguely Tibetan-themed picture he could find? Either way, given the tensions in Tibet, the Post should know better.

Have you been brainwashed by Western media? Can't you see this man is a dangerous terrorist?
Ah, I see it now - he must be reading a dangerous revolutionary manifesto, like "Quotations from Chairman Mao Zedong".
It looks like a Harry Potter book, that well known exponant of the splittist theory
Is he asleep, the lazy cnut?
