From Burmese in Thailand, muted protests

I am a syndicated columnist, and with the Pulitzer Center's help I am reporting from Thailand, Cambodia and Laos this month. In Thailand I am writing primarily about human trafficking -- Thai mothers who sell their children into sexual slavery. In Cambodia, where I covered the fall of the Khmer Rouge regime in 1979, I am writing about what life is like today. My first column from the region, for the McClatchy-Tribune News Service, covers President Bush's visit to Thailand and the Burmese exile movement.
