Biased BBC?

I also noticed the same one track mind when the same program interviewed me. Tear the democratic opposition to shreds, while the junta leaders never give interviews. Why don't they play hardball with the perpetrators, instead of picking on the victims?

Open question to anti-sanctions lobby: Who do you think has hurt the Burmese people more -- the army, the junta and the system it put in place over the last 45 years, since Ne Win's coup of 1962, or the targeted sanctions? In place only since 2004 when it was instituted at the weakest level. The interviewer himself said that sanctions had not succeeded.

Who funds BBC and how much trade does the UK have with Burma?

A few years ago, a reporter hired to cover a high level sanctions discussion on Burma in DC and I discovered, from their official web site, that the research organization sponsoring the seminar had a UNOCAL person on their board.

The reporter subsequently had his expose piece published in Irrawaddy, presumably because he could not get it published elsewhere.
