I am not surprised in the least. But I'm not really bothered by it either. Like I said previously, I think it only serves to bring more attention to a situation that has pretty much been ignored by everyone but a subset of activist-minded people. Most people identify the Dalai Lama with his books. I've no doubt that the DL and his folks are hep to this fact, as well.
