The uniforms for the 2002 Winter Olympics, you know the ones Mitt left Bain for and retired "retroactively" from to "save", were made in Burma, which until last year were controlled by a brutal military regime.

See article here.

"According to reports in 2002, the decision to outsource the torchbearer uniforms to Burma caused an uproar among human rights advocates and trade groups. It prompted the head of the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions to write a letter to the International Olympic Committee, stating that "No responsible organization or body should make use of products originating in Burma."

No wonder Candidate Romney has remained silent during this year's controversy.

So yeah, this isn't new. Perhaps what is new is more sources of information are easily available for the average "Joe", without having to actually pick up a newspaper or a magazine to do so.
