Uighurs protest in China; 16 killed

For those of you not familiar with the situation, The Uighur people of China inhabit the Xinjiang province in the far west. If your familiar with the whole "Free Tibet" movement, this is essentially the same situation, where China arbitrarily decided to take over a neighboring country blitzkrieg-style but no one knew or cared 'cause the victims weren't white (like they were back in Poland). Instead of practicing Buddhism and speaking some Indian language, these folks are Muslim and speak Turkic. It's also interesting to note that this province is also where China may or may not be honing it's drone operating skills against insurgent members of it's own population.
