From CNN:
The Chinese dissident Chen Guangcheng's daring and extraordinary escape to the U.S.
embassy in Beijing has captivated the world. At first, it appeared that U.S. diplomats
and the Chinese government brokered a deal that satisfied Chen and everyone involved.
But now Chen says he wants to leave China, and that he feels unsafe. Has the Obama
administration bungled his case? Did President Barack Obama use people who were capable
of correctly interpreting the signals in China? Or was there a gap in translation?
