ABC News Online: Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi says genocide case brought against Myanmar 'misleading'

The ole Nobel Peace prize ain't what it used to be. True for quite awhile.
You have to take the accusations of a "massacre" with a grain salt, she is probably right in that it was exaggerated for political purposes. Take two sides and go to the middle and that is where the truth probably lies.
