And the beat goes on.

The excuse they used this time to hold her came in the form of some American fool who snuck into her home, against her wishes, telling of a dream he had of her assassination. Of course, they would have just made up some other flimsy reason to keep her locked away from her followers.

I somehow doubt Obama is going to send anyone to Burma to rescue this guy. There is hope though, Burma has been identified as possibly receiving nuclear plans from North Korea. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/jul/21/burma-north-korea-nuclear-clinton
