  1. Why doesn't this surprise me?

    When one can bomb his own cities to convince the public that war is necessary, why not bribe outside countries to allow them to torture in their airports?

    After all USA have poured billions of dollars in Thailand, mainly as high profile bribes, since before the Vietnam war, so they kind of bought their right to do anything they want...

    so...

    I'm not surprised... actually I'd have been surprised if somebody had said that "CIA didn't have torture rooms in Thailand"...

    so that's no real news is it?

  2. I'm not very clever to understand the reasons and the consequences of such a crazy solution.

    But to me it just proves that, as usual, Thai authorities try to find the easy way out.

    There are police booths at every corner, but they're too busy hunting for under-table money from busted motorists. (1 to 200 baht for a red light or a forgotten helmet... if you paid more you've been ripped-off, corruption has its standards).

    Now they delegate tourist security to 7/11? it's not a joke right?

    Instead of keeping the force doing their job at their station and training them properly (doing something constructive that is), they are going to delegate police work to low-level staff of a private corporation?

    7/11 is handling your phone bill, your electric bill, your water bill and god knows what else... now tourist security... soon they'll become voting booth... 7/11 is going to end-up replacing the whole government soon.

    It all smells fishy to me... I'd rather the old communist way of creating a militia... it'd make more sense and at least power stays with the people.
