 Photos from Burmaposted by John MacFarlane at 6h23 GMT on Sep 27
 Activists and supporters of Burma have for years discouraged people from visiting the country as tourists, although the debate about this has heated up recently. Could photos emerging from the country now be one fortunate - and probably unintended - result of the Burmese junta's decision to open up their isolated country to more tourism? As news sites detail a deterioration of the situation in Rangoon and elsewhere in Burma, with police now breaking up protests and last night raiding several monasteries, photos taken by tourists and dissidents back up those stories and are proliferating around the Internet. The photo that accompanies this post was taken by Why Democracy Flickr Pool member Racoles, but there are many more, including here, here, and here.
