Hi Robert

Parenti's article reminds me of the publications about "Feudal Tibet" Maoist 
China produced in the 1960's - they even had a vividly illustrated full colour 
book of the exhibits in the "exhibition of torture" which he talks about Anna 
Louise Strong visiting.

Overall this view of Tibet is just as fictitious as the Shangri-La myth.

There is a rebuttal of Parenti's article at:
