Of COURSE enhanced interrogations produced successful results. They led to Bin Ladin being caught. Trying to pretend otherwise is idiotic. The only real argument is whether it is ethical to torture terrorist murderers to prevent more attacks on innocent civilians.

Interesting that people still perpetuate the Bin Laden getting caught story.

So you believe that Bin Ladin was dead 10 years before he was killed by the Navy Seals. Is there any reason why we should take anything else you have to say on the subject seriously?

Don't take anything I say seriously, go look it up for yourself, it's public information.

Unfortunately most of the seals involved have been killed, so we can't ask them.

this looks to me like super spin job.

If it was secret, how would we know?

There were no secret prisons, we all knew there were there.

"We have never allowed the US to use our space for detention or torture and there have never been any requests to do so."

who's "we"? most Thais that I know knew this was set up by Thaksin.

Thailand did not have any secret prisons, those belonged to the US.

The army didn't know, I am not the army comes to mind.

I think the reason Obama released this information is to throw the US under the bus once again and

to screw Bush and all his cronies for killing so many of his brotherhood family.

Anyway you look at it, it is not being done in the name of transparency. Just my opinion of course.

not spouse but best friend...

"is the 'N-O' or 'K-N-O-W?'

The report said the families back the police investigation,

which police are they talking about, the Thai or the UK's?

what if you live in Oregon or Colorado or just came from Amsterdam?

Does this mean you must refrain from your norml life for 30 days

before coming to Thailand for fear of testing positive for something legal?

I think you're asking the wrong question.

This is the first time I'm seeing that they were in the country illegally.

What happens to the person that hired those "illegals"?

an "eye for and eye" means only an "eye for an eye".

They deliberately killed someone, they get the same.

You don't bomb an entire village because of the actions of a few.

do it according to Sharia law, they won't have a problem with that.

we've seen what his vaccines can do, best to stay clear of anything he does.

As the gap between the "haves" and the "have nots" widens. abuse to others is just

another symptom along with teenage pregnancy, drugs, crime, alcohol abuse, kids smoking

etc etc etc.

I don't think it being a featured regular theme on prime time TV is helping either.

You don't have to believe in black magic to capitalize off of it.

Religion is a pretty good evergreen market isn't it?

What's amazing is that this is news. You can bring your own umbrella to the beach!

Amazing Generous Thailand!

if food matter is 64% or the problem then a composting program would be a 64% solution.

Food is literally the "country" they are throwing away. I compost all organic material and have

fought for years with my Thai housemate that by not doing that you are throwing away the country, literally!

Sadly it happens in a lot of places, especially in the land of the free and the home of the brave.

I wonder what's caused the change? The first I noticed this in Thailand was

about 3-4 years ago.

RIP young one!

this I don't understand. Her father was killed 8 years ago and they say

"officers investigated a lead that some youngsters on a motorcycle had

been seen circulating suspiciously near the victim's house area ever since her father was killed."

Youngsters had been seen circulating for 8 years??? I know I just woke up, but am I dreaming?

I think the guy you're talking about makes 10K THB per day and has been doing this for years.

He also gives a huge amount of money to one of the temples each year. We see that on the TV.

The extra long pants tied at the bottom sure do you look like he has lost limbs,

but he's been doing it for years and that's his "job", everyone knows him, he works hard

for his money and he's far from homeless. You have to give him credit where credit's due.

Drug use on the rise.

This is the product of that. Senseless crimes wicked in nature which only human numbed on drugs could do.

Inequality on the rise is more like it.

Thailand as all the symptoms.

more smokers, drinkers,drugs, school drop outs, teen pregnancies, crime.

obviously if you're Thai and commit a crime, good chance you'll get off whereas

you used to have to be rich but now blame a foreigner works too.

I'm glad Steve Jobs didn't have your attitude towards new technology.

So they will buy a Prius, a Nissan LEAF and a Chevy Volt and reverse engineer them.

What are they going to charge the batteries with? More coal fired power plants?

Do they know what they are going to do with 200 kgs of batteries when they need replacing?

Do they know what small market share electric cars have in the developed world?

Do they know that manufactures don't make real money on these cars, but rather sell them to be PC?

Do they know that even then the cars are expensive compared to those with just an internal combustion engine?

Do they know that the USA has a 100 year supply of natural gas already drilled with many more places to drill?

Do they know the sticker shock for the consumer when he has to replace the batteries?

Do they know that these cars are more often rich guys toys rather than the main family car?

Do they know that "peak oil" is a myth for our lifetimes and that more oil is being discovered every year than is being used causing the supply to increase? Think Russia, Canada, Brazil and the US just for starters, and the UK with natural gas.

Do they know how clean the newer internal combustion engines run, and what great fuel economy some of them can get?

Do they know that some places are beginning to consider an annual tax on cars instead of a fuel tax because fuel economy is improving so much not enough tax is being paid to maintain the roads?

This announcement ranks right up there with big announcements of government to government rice sales that never happened.

I saw a generator the runs on water and already in production, that would work. I've also seen plenty of

free energy electric generators that would work too. Not sure why all the negativity. Doesn't have to be

batteries does it?

He'll be cleared when the DNA doesn't match.

Let the UK police take the DNA sample and test it against what is found on the body.

Unless the UK gets a self taken sample and compare it with the body they have, it all means nothing.
