Aung San Suu Kyi has been under house arrest for a while. About a week ago, an American man was arrested after swimming across a lake to sneak into her compound.
Foreigners are not allowed to stay in Myanmar homes, so she's facing prison.
According to the story (Yahoo News (http://news.yahoo.com/s/time/20090514/wl_time/08599189816300)), the American is "53-year-old former military serviceman John William Yettaw of Falcon, Missouri."
Weird. Hard to guess what he was up to. (But naturally they leap to point out that he was in the service, once. :rolleyes: )
