So another day of the crack down continues against the peaceful protesters in Burma. Reportedly, a Japanese journalist was shot while covering the events.

Andrew Sullivan linked to two great resources that post regular updates and include some photos when possible:  Mizzima News and Irrawaddy. This pretty much is the best coverage I’ve found so far, I recommend checking them out.

Other interesting Burma related posts. James Fallows of the Atlantic Monthly has an interesting post about the Burma vs Myanmar debate and a response from someone in Burma.

I’ve also been meaning to post this Slate article. When I first saw these reports, one of m first questions was “how many monks are there in Burma?” Well Slate’s Explainer soothes my curiosity.
