YANGON, Myanmar--The U.S. military said yesterday that it is keeping 22 helicopters on standby in case Myanmar's ruling junta reverses its rejection of such help for cyclone victims, saying the aircraft could ferry emergency supplies to most survivors within three days. Myanmar's government, meanwhile, lashed out at its own citizens and foreign news media for what it called distorted coverage of the aftermath of the devastating storm a month ago. It said that the country's image had been tarnished by false claims that aid isn't getting to people.
