"I welcome the release of fellow Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi and extend my appreciation to the military regime in Burma. I extend my full support and solidarity to the movement for democracy in Burma and take this opportunity to appeal to freedom-loving people all over the world to support such non-violent movements."
"I pray and hope that the government of the People's Republic of China will release fellow Nobel laureate Liu Xiaobo and other prisoners of conscience who have been imprisoned for exercising their freedom of expression."

There is so little to feel good about in the news. But even here it's hard to avoid a gnawing feeling. I'll wait and see instead of giving in to the natural urge to celebrate. It's the Burmese people that need setting free, and I think Suu Kyi would agree.
