does anybody really believe that Aung San Suu Kyi will ever be truly free?

The military junta that has been running Myanmar (Burma) for so many years claims that Aung San Suu Kyi will be released from house arrest. Again.

Forgive me, O Generals of Myanmar, if I have trouble believing that Suu Kyi will remain free. You have a poor record in her case. She scares the hell out of you and she always will.

"It is not power that corrupts but fear. Fear of losing power corrupts those who wield it and fear of the scourge of power corrupts those who are subject to it." -- Aung San Suu Kyi
