US blasts trial of Chinese dissident

The United States is sharply criticizing China's trial of a prominent Chinese dissident as being "uncharacteristic of a great country."

Liu Xiaobo was detained a year ago before the release of an appeal for more civil rights in China that he co-authored.

He was tried Wednesday on subversion charges and faces up to 15 years in jail.
