Burma

I think it should be "And since Burma has nothing we want, there's nothing the government will bother to do."

 

I love Crab Rangoon, which is weird that you get it at a Chinese restaurant.

 

I just want to point out that ABC's Jim Scuitto has done a wonderful job reporting from Myanmar.
If any of you have a chance, you should go to ABC NEWS and find his reports from there.

 

CNN just showed some smuggled video from there. There's a link to it on their front page.

Cooper made reference to the government saying its soldiers had used the greatest restraint possible (which I'm sure no one believed anyway) and then showed soldiers beating people with sticks. Like they were just walking away and got a shot or two on the back on on the head.

One video (from, as they said, dissident journalists) showed a dead monk laying in a creek; apparently he had been abused.

Very disturbing stuff.

 

Ah, Peterman.
