we're hoping for someone who will truly represent the people and that can only be aung san suu kyi. >> reporter: it's not clear whether myanmar's military junta has attached any strings to aung san suu kyi's release. since 1989, when she was charged with trying to divide the military, she's been released from house arrest at least twice. but the military rulers have tried to stop her from being politically active or tried to restrict her movement in return for freedom. and she was rearrested. this time, those close to her say she would rather have stayed in detention than accept any conditions. of course, every time she has been released, it's a delicate dance with the burmese junta because frankly, we have to recall this is a brutal military dictatorship who is -- who has the capability at any time on an arbitrary basis to decide she's crossed some line they've set in their own minds and to reimprison her. my guess is that the military regime is going to claim that there's nothing for her to discuss with them, because they've just had to -- what they would claim to be a democratic el
