Free Burma!

I'm posting this today as part of the International Bloggers' Day for Burma, where bloggers are posting only once in solidarity with the Burmese people. Click here for more information about the campaign. If you have a blog or Web site, it's not too late to join in the worldwide statement! It's amazing to look at the list of participants to see how they span the globe.

Today also marks one week since Japanese journalist Kenji Nagai was slain in Yangon while filming a protest. His body has just arrived back in Japan. May he rest in peace, and may his killers be brought to justice.

For more perspective on the sad lack of global concern (um, U.N.!!) on the situation there, check out my column this week.
