Than Shwe plays Elmer Fudd to freedom's Wascal Wabbit

Well, so far Burma's military has taken down the country's main link to the Internet (today), smashed cameras and cellphones and beaten anyone found carrying them, disconnected most of the country's cellphone lines, shut down several newspapers, denied visas to foreign correspondents, and shot to death a photojournalist for AFP news service.

And, as I mentioned in an earlier post, they are probably trying to figure out how to jam BBC and VOA broadcasts, not to mention hunting down every satphone they can find in the hands of civilians.

Yet still, news of the protests and crackdown is getting out of the country.

What's up, doc?
