Uighur Watch: Like They've Been Telling Us, I Guess

From a friend just back from Western (Uighur) China:
Your email came in just before we went down the rabbit hole in Xinjiang where now there is no email or international phone service in view of the recent disturbances. Never in 30 years have I seen so much military on view (the point of course), esp. in Urumqi and Kashgar where patrols of three large lorries filled with troops in riot gear circle endlessly.
