Picture of the Week


Secretary of State Hillary Clinton embraces Burmese human rights icon Aung San Suu Kyi in a visit to Suu Kyi's home. After the Burmese government showed signs of reforming, Clinton became the first major American official to visit Burma (also known as Myannmar) in some 50 years. Suu Kyi, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, has opposed the brutal Burmese military junta's violation of human rights for decades.
