Burmese cyclone death toll mounts by the hour --

I don't know how the Burmese junta's foreign ministry gets its figures, but they go up by 10,000 each time the minister speaks to the (international) press.

Meanwhile videos show fat generals standing around awkwardly in still well pressed uniforms.

Video shows packages being packed onto an army van, but taken where?

Anyway, they have allowed in one foreign correspondent, CNN's Dan Rivers.

I don't want it to be "Burmese die while Nero fiddles."
