Thirty-seven arrested in London, chaos in Paris, and Free Tibet banners on the Golden Gate Bridge. It has been a wild run for the Olympic Torch, leaving even the game's President to call it a "crisis." Should we boycott the games? Guest Laurel Sutherlin, member of Students for a Free Tibet in San Francisco. Sutherland was arrested along with two others after climbing the Golden Gate Bridge and unfurling "Free Tibet" banners. Ethan Gutmann, author and journalist. Gutmann's article "Carrying a Torch for China" calls for President Bush to boycott the opening ceremonies and it appears in the latest edition of The Weekly Standard.
