Burma news (NYT): As the military government continues to make conciliatory gestures during long-running talks with the opposition leader Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, Foreign Minister Win Aung told the Reuters news agency that she would eventually be freed from house arrest. "Oh yes, if possible, of course we will do that," he said. "Suu Kyi will not be in her house for the rest of her life." Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi, a winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, has spent much of the last 13 years under house arrest.

Yea, I can see that statement being made. Foreign Minister Win Aung: "Oh yes, if possible, of course we will do that. Suu Kyi will not be in her house for the rest of her life. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Aaah-ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. . . . Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha . ha." (wipes tear away).
