"Oh, and Mr. President, when are you thugs going to release Hao Wu?"

That would be a good way for President Bush to begin one of his conversations with visiting Chinese president, Hu Jintao, today.

Hao Wu, a Chinese blogger and fillmaker also known as Wu Hao, was abducted by Chinese government officials 58 days ago, three weeks longer than Chinese law says its citizens can be held without charge. The guy's crime appears to be his documentary work on China's underground Christian movement. Rebecca MacKinnon writes about his situation in today's Washington Post. (Thanks to Glenn Reynolds for leading me to the piece.)

To push for his release, you can send emails to the Chinese embassy, here.
