U.S. diplomat meets with Suu Kyi

Making a rare appearance outside the confines of the house where she has been imprisoned for most of the past 14 years, detained democracy activist Aung San Suu Kyi met with U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for East Asia Kurt Campbell at his hotel in Rangoon. The two-hour meeting -- details of which were not disclosed -- followed a meeting among Campbell and his assistant and representatives from Myanmar's military junta as the U.S. makes an effort at engagement with the isolated regime.
