    It is infuriating that in the long run of setbacks for Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and Burmese democracy, the latest comes courtesy of an American religious zealot and his misguided "mission." As an American who has spent the past eight years raising funds for Burmese refugees and raising awareness about the political situation there, I am heartbroken that this nut has put Suu Kyi's potential (if unlikely) freedom in peril once more.

    I found this article unconscionably full of untruths and innaccuracies - tabloid journalism at its worst. The writer used every bit of tale telling harvested from the agenda-ridden ex-wife and failed to check out the lack of truth and decency portrayed in each juicy statement. Labelling this man a "tramp" in the author's cutesy title is a telling start to this sensationalist account. There are so many instances of sloppy fact-finding: Mr. Yettaw never claimed to be a Vietnam vet nor was he in combat. He did not put his thumb "through" a man's eye but in fact took the drunken, gun-wielding man down with an eye socket hold after he threatened his wife with a gun in front of several witnesses. The handicapped sister did not die in childhood, but in fact survived until age 36. John, the younger brother, was her guardian after the death of their mother. The statement,"He's like get me out of here" is attributed to Betty but actually came from the 17 year old son, Brian. John is accused of leaving "a ten year old and three teenagers unsupervised. They were looked after by a neighbor and alternately the present wife. The 13 year old actually flew to California with his dad to stay with his grandmother, bujt the ex-wife allowed him to travel alone, back to Missouri. So in reality only three children were left and the ex-wife sent the fourth one back. I find these and several other statements to be libellous in nature both from the ex-wife who does NOT have custody and has admitted to trying to prove him an unfit father, and from a journalist who ought to be watching his careless writing.

    "The intentional error"

    People who are in media are a business and they have this
    pattern of statement; they realize the error in the statement,
    and know all the possible responses.

    For example: Lets complain about the new addition to your
    household electricity system, the smartmeter. Lets make the
    complaint: "I expect a backstop for this product." or "I expect
    this product to improve and both versions worth the investment."

    (If you don't know "backstop" means replacing a product because
    of environmental improvement.)

    The company knows the responses, they are accepting criticism in
    this way:

    The initial consumer ranking game is "comfortable marriage"

    1) Who is your assigned male?
    2) Explain why he was employable?
    3) Does your memory indicate that your finances want to fit in?
    4) Are you changing the system?

    The purpose of ranking consumers though marriage-ability is the
    next obviously important "personal comfort". Personal comfort
    is obviously important to pricing, the economic lingo that is
    usually used in it's place is happiness or satisfaction. I
    really want to point out that the consumer ranks those
    qualities arbitrarily, it is your personal taste, style,
    attitude, your cool, that you fit in the same as years ago.

    Personal comfort is exactly why their are twenty times the number
    of raw resources that go into a car vs. a computer, yet the pricing
    is what the consumer will pay for comfort or satisfaction.

    So who's "personal comfort" changes the company, by setting
    consumer trends, changing prices, effecting shares changing the
    CEO. The people who at the same time claim approval of a respected
    male income.

    The fact that the person running the business changes but follows
    the same systematic conversation running the company, indicates
    their is simply a pattern to running a company, they change the
    company like most other consumers, they simply bring their
    "marriage comfort" hence "personal comfort" for the consumers
    preference, relating to the important consumers preemptively.

    So is my only response to media, "dad had a perfect death".

    Another reason to hate the retarded Americans. Would they be so charitable if a mentally unbalanced Muslim man somehow broke into say Laura Bushs room when Bush was president, in the White House and demanded to stay overnight, you'd never find that man outside of Guantanamo Bay.

    How come the media dont seem to care anything about this guy, but they are fawning all over the two chicks that snuck into North Korea? Both committed the same crime tresspassing in a restricted foreign country. Oh that's right, the chicks were working for Saint Al Gore, the left love a looney so long as the crazy is fighting for a lefty cause.

      Excellent point! This writer has obviously got it in for the guy,. Calling him a tramp for a start. This article is mediocre to the max. It isfull of errors, slams and judgments. It reeks with tabloid details of the family that were snooped out to make a juicy story, As things come out in the trial it seems that Mr.Y had his reasons. And saying he "helped bring down Burma's future" - what a joke. Burma didn't have much of a future and now what has been going on over there has come to the attention of the whole world, and maybe there can be a change. Could that be what the so called Tramp was hoping for to begin with? We won't know until it's over.

    Can my brother from 1964 turn himself in for I think something that comes with a lengthy sentence, or because he's Thomas he is allowed to be beyond legal and is allowed to continue to extort tons of money from my perfect mother for heroine.

    The only thing that I can think of here is, "the road to hell is paved with good intentions."
