Where is that liberation force at a place where it is urgently needed? Oh, there is no oil there for sure, and none of interests to the judeofascists. Suu Kyi 'on hunger strike' news.bbc.co.uk Aung San Suu Kyi has been held May The United States says Burmese pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi has gone on hunger strike. It says she is protesting against her detention by the Burmese Government. In a statement, the US state department said it was "deeply concerned" for Aung San Suu Kyi's safety and called for her release. She was detained at the end of May following a clash between her supporters and pro-government groups. News of the hunger strike came a day after the Burmese Government announced its own transition plan for a return to democracy. The proposals, however, make no reference to Aung San Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy (NLD), which won Burma's last election in 1990 before being suppressed by the authorities. Call for dialogue State Department spokesman Philip Reeker said the Burmese Government had "full responsibility" for Aung San Suu Kyi's well-being. "We again call for her immediate release as well as the release of her National League for Democracy colleagues and all political prisoners in Burma. We urge the Burmese authorities to enter into a serious political dialogue with all of Burma's political parties," he said. On Saturday, Burma's the newly-appointed Prime Minister, General Khin Nyunt, said the government would support a national convention to draw a new constitution which would lead to a free and fair election. But he gave no timetable for releasing Aung San Suu Kyi, nor any suggestion that the military was ready to give up its hold on power. After the NLD won the last free elections, many NLD members were arrested and the government refused to recognise the result.

uh-oh .. she's baaaaack ... Kerry's wife spices up bid by Andrew Miga Sunday, August 31, 2003 WASHINGTON - Teresa Heinz Kerry, stepping back into the spotlight after a low-key summer, will soon boost her profile on the presidential campaign trail with appearances for her husband in key states such as Iowa and New Hampshire. The outspoken comments by the wealthy wife of Sen. John F. Kerry on matters ranging from marital fidelity and prenuptial agreements to Botox cosmetic treatments generated headlines last spring during a round of media interviews. She was less visible in the media during the summer months, however. Kerry has complained that the media has unfairly portrayed his wealthy wife as a ``loose cannon'' whose freewheeling ways could undermine his candidacy. Kerry advisers contend her brash, independent-minded personality will be a campaign asset - a dose of Sen. John McCain-style authenticity that will play well with jaded voters turned off by slick campaign messages. ``She is her own person and voters tend to like people who speak their minds with no holds barred,'' said one Kerry adviser. ``She is an asset.'' Heinz Kerry plans to appear at a string of fund-raising events on behalf of her husband, campaign sources said, and will speak before small groups of voters in grassroots-style events over the next two months. She will accompany her husband on his campaign plane this week as he formally launches his presidential bid in South Carolina, Iowa, New Hampshire and Boston. She will also travel to New Mexico for the first presidential debate to be held Thursday in Albuquerque. Next weekend she will host a major fund-raising event for high-end Kerry fund-raisers at her Brant Point, Nantucket home.
