Dear Myo Aye,

First, let me put one thing right. I'm not at all angry that you posted
the story into the Burmanet. I think you and a number of people have
done a great job to keep people around the world informed of what's
happening in Burma and outside Burma in relations to the country.
Moreover, it is because of your posting that I learned how other reporters
are abusing information from other media to write their own stories..

I'm only very surprised to see Mr Ron Corben's story that virtually
contained information about the Karen repatriation (copy some exact 
paragraphs) from a Nation story without giving credit to it. Even more
shameful is that he dared put his name in the story as if he got all
the information for his story by himself. He is misleading the
Australian public to believe that he work on the story himself. Another
thing that I want to mention here is that there is only The Nation that
published that exact information about the repatriation. I recall that
story very well because I am the one who translated and rewrote that story
from our reporter.

Hope everything is doing fine with you.

Best wishes,

yindee
