The military authorities in Burma have released the pro-democracy leader, Aung San Suu Kyi.

She has appeared in front of a crowd of her supporters who rushed to her house in Rangoon when nearby barricades were removed by the security forces.

Thank you that this thread (of course, dicatated by the original article) had the common sense to refer to the country as BURMA (and not this non-sensical "Myanmar" people talk about).

[Kolokotronis]

This is very, very good news!

Obama, once again, made it all about him. He called her “a hero of mine”. There is something terribly pathological about him.

thought it was Myanmar now?

I hope she includes Laura Bush in her thank you speech.

I guess the money Soros gave to Palin’s aide, Scheunemann, worked!

/sarc (and not meant as a dig on Sarah)

Obama’s Hero....he treats it like he treats Larry Sinclair

[Marty62]

That was my first thought. The Salon Smear job on Palin didn’t work as their Stated target. SHE is FREE!

“Burma releases Aung San Suu Kyi”

For how long?

[nuconvert]

The U.S. and apparently the Brits, do not accept the name given to it by the military junta gov’t.
We have always called it Burma.

Oh dear. Those Obamas sure like their food. Funny how Barack doesn’t gain weight. Must be the cigs and whatever other drugs he is using.

Great News, Thank You!!!!!!

[Perdogg]

I thought Muslims didn't eat brisket. ;)

[JimSEA]

Good news for as long as the release lasts.

[Erik Latranyi]

That was my first thought. The Salon Smear job on Palin didn’t work as their Stated target.

Using Salon's logic:

SARA PALIN HELPS FREE AUNG SAN SUU KYI!!!!!

Bono will be very happy..... discussion of her plight has been part of the U2 360 Tour show.
