Burma Gives "Cronies" Slice of Storm Relief[]
Glenn Kessler reports for The Washington Post: "Just seven days after Cyclone Nargis devastated Burma last month, the ruling military junta parceled out key sections of the affected Irrawaddy Delta to favored tycoons and companies, including several facing sanctions from the US Treasury, according to a Burmese magazine with close ties to the government... While some of the executives awarded contracts are well known to human rights activists and financial-crime experts, others are less prominent, potentially making the document a guide to the individuals currently in favor with the military leadership."
