Update on the Burma Protests
The situation in Burma is getting worse. The BBC reports that nine are confirmed dead, but diplomats believe the number is much higher. Eye witnesses claim that there are rows of dead bodies in the streets. A Japanese journalist has also been killed by the military, and now Japan is asking for accountability. And to top it off, the Burmese government has shut down all public internet access, so that no news can get out.

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.
Meanwhile, Bush has been trying to stick his nose into the situation, because - ahem! - Burma has oil...
