The Dalai Lama, who has talked with reporters outside the White House after previous presidential meetings, left without making any remarks.

Documents on The Dalai Lama http://www.westernshugdensociety.org/photos/dalai-lama-wikileaks-shame/ The Dalai Lama’s Wikileaks Shame Recent Wikileaks releases of US Embassy cables reveal more shameful behaviour by the Dalai Lama. As has been well documented on this site the Dalai Lama colluded with the CIA to establish an armed resistence to the Chinese presence in Tibet. When this failed the Dalai Lama established a secret Tibetan unit within the Indian Army - the shadowy 'Establishment 22'. The cable releases reveal that the Dalai Lama's secret army received a steady stream of new recruits from the Tibetan Children's Village Schools. As the cable says: 'Membership in Establishment 22 was compulsory for Tibetan students graduating from Tibetan Children's Village (TCV) schools until the late 1980s'. These schools were set up for the destitute children and orphans amongst the Tibetan refugee community with international aid donations. How ironic that in the lead up to receiving the Nobel peace prize in 1989, the Dalai Lama was forcing orphans under his care into military service in his secret army. Not only this, these orphans were then sent into war with the Dalai Lama's consent in 1971 to fight for India against Pakistan, and in other violent conflicts.
