Violent Crack Down on Burmese Protests

The BBC World News report on the latest developments on the protests in Burma. The country's military leadership has turned its guns on the people.

According to a report on yesterday's Rachel Maddow radio show, similar events occurred 19 years ago when the people rose up against the government. Back then, the military disguised themselves as protesters and acted out violently, in order to legitimize a military backlash. This resulted in the slaughter of thousands of innocent people, and suppression of the revolution. Well, the dictatorship is at it again. According to sources, the military has recently invested in hundreds of monk's robes and encouraged soldiers to shave their heads, so that they can disguise themselves as protesting monks and repeat the violence of the past.
