Journalists do not have permission to report. WHY?? WHO IS AFRAID OF WHAT??

Journalists' based in Yangon do not have permission to report on the
bird flu. "We will try and report as much as we can but we don't
know whether the censors will pass it", said one journalist based in
Yangon.
IF JOURNALIST CANNOT REPORT AND DO WHAT THEY ARE TRAINED TO DO WHAT IS THE
USE OF WORKING AS A JOURNALIST???. THE POWER HUNGRY JUNTA SHOULD NOT CONTROL
EVERY THING. WHAT ARE THEY AFRAID OF???. IF THE JUNTA DOES THE RIGHT THING
BY THE PEOPLE THEY WILL BE RESPECTED. BUT NOW IT APPEARS THAT THE JUNTA IS
HATED AND IT IS ALWAYS SEEN AS BULLYING THE PEOPLE. WHAT SORT OF GOVERNMENT
IS THIS???.
