Into the Flip Side

this article (hat tip: Greg) is from an unnamed reporter for the Los Angeles Times. Read the whole article here.

from the article:

"Over the last 16 years, I have reported on famine, massive earthquakes and a tsunami. Cyclone Nargis is the first natural disaster that required working undercover to write about the hungry, sick and homeless."

and

"More than a month after the cyclone, the government continues to deny unhindered access to the disaster zone for foreign experts, such as medical and water-purification teams, threatening thousands of lives, especially those of children, pregnant women and the elderly, the United Nations and other agencies say."

well worth the read. This article also gives a good insight into the mind set and actions of a oppressive government at work.
