I haven't gotten from Byron Katie that she believes desire creates suffering. What I see in her teachings is that holding onto a desire to get something is what inhibits freedom. As Wolfgang says, it's the attachment, not the desire.
The folks that think that the Law of Attraction is all about GETTING STUFF (or getting people to do stuff we want them to do) are the folks that are missing some of the best things about the LoA -- thinking thoughts that feel good when you think them; aligning who you are with what you want; looking carefully at your desires to see what lies at their depths and then going for the golden heart of your desire rather than being attached to a temporary manifestation of it.
What I get from Byron Katie, and the best part of the LoA, is about surrender -- letting go! I think the Bhuddists and Taoists can get behind that, as well.
