COMMENTS: Beware Uninvited Guests
Neither NBC nor CBS filed a single story from an overseas dateline. ABC had a couple--a quirky closer and a serious story from Clarissa Ward. Beijing-based Ward told us about Myanmar's opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi. "Her party won an overwhelming victory in the last election," which was held almost 20 years ago. Another vote is scheduled for next year but she will be prevented from campaigning because the junta's court has just extended her house arrest by another 18 months. Her crime? She allowed John Yettaw "to spend two nights in her house." Yettaw, an American who was sentenced to seven years by the same tribunal, "swam across a lake uninvited claiming he wanted to protect her from assassins."
