rain_gryphonSo, I went to read about Burma, in light of the recent coup, and the fact that this Suu Kyi woman seems to keep bouncing in and out of prison rather like a yo-yo. I started at the State Dept site. It kind of obsesses over recent history, sanctions and other coercions we've applied to make them do our bidding, and programs we've instituted there, which is prolly what I should have expected. They did, however, have a link to the CIA factbook with economic information, which is probably where I ought to have started to begin with. And that link returns... 404.
CIA apparently did a reorganization a few months back, and State didn't bother to update. I accept that there are going to be occasional flubs in any operation, but honestly... State's links point to a 404 on what's not just a major gubbermint website, but one with which you'd expect State to closely coordinate its activities. I'm disgusted, and more than a little appalled.
