Junta in Burma to draft constitution alone

An update from Burma -er- Myanmar. The military junta in power has refused to allow their opposition any part in the drafting of the country's long awaited constitution. By long awaited, I mean since the last one was ditched 14 years ago along with the election results which would have installed a pro-democracy government. The junta's new constitution is supposed to be part of its "seven stage path to democracy." Of course, that "seven stage path to democracy" is to be followed with no help from those dastardly pro-democracy partisans. If that's not a sign of good faith, I don't know what is.
