Junkyard Blog correctly points out the surreal tranquility of the images obtained by a Chicom Google search for "tiananmen"
However, if you click on the Chinese character at the left above the search window (which probably corresponds to "Web"), you find this link, which contains a number of violent images of the Tiananmen Square Massacre, including this one:
Of course, maybe the creator of this site is on his or her way to re-education right now, too.

UPDATE and chime in by Rusty: Heh, indeed. More from Say Anything on Google taking down its censorship statement.

IMO if people ever know the truth that most of the death came from "student supporters" violently battling and rioting on the streets leading to TAM, they would have to consider China's delima and choices.

"as far as can be determined from the available evidence, no one died that night in Tiananmen Square."
http://www.earnshaw.com/memoirs/content.cfm?ID=16
"Most of the killing did not take place on or near the Square, that is clear."
Like Kent State, Ruby Ridge, Waco, people were killed. Even the Chinese government published fatality count (in-line with our own NSA estimate) admitting that. It's a sad and regretable episode in China's history, and it'll take a long time for them to come to terms with it - on their own terms. (as a comparison it took our Senate over 100 yeras to unofficially apologize for condoning lynching, and no official apology for Vietnam eventhough we killed over 10 million people in SE Asia over 12 years. And of course, our current government/self censorship on Iraq.)
US government's recored on human rights abuse is far from prestine, in some respects worse than China. Yet only the few most militant minority would support the federal building bombers by accusing the US government of being an oppressive, facist regime.
