Senator Webb Meets With Myanmar’s Suu Kyi, Frees American

By Dan Hart


Aug. 15 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. Senator Jim Webb met with pro- democracy activist Aung San Suu Kyi as part of a two-day visit to Myanmar by winning the freedom of an American activist who swam to Suu Kyi’s lakeside home, Webb said in a statement.

Webb, a Democrat from Virginia, became the first senior U.S. official to meet with the top leader of the country’s military junta, Senior General Than Shwe, Webb’s office said in a statement.

John Yettaw, the American activist, who swam uninvited to Suu Kyi’s Yangon home in May and stayed for two days, will be officially deported tomorrow morning, Webb said in the statement. He will fly on a military aircraft with Webb to Bangkok from Myanmar tomorrow morning, the statement said.

“I am grateful to the Myanmar government for honoring these requests,” Webb said in the statement. “It is my hope that we can take advantage of these gestures as a way to begin laying a foundation of goodwill and confidence-building in the future.”

More appeasement! Aaaaahhh! PH34R!

And there will surely be a major news outlet that will give him a platform to spew his hate and warmongering untrammeled by facts or reality.
