Information Could Threaten Existence Of Thai Government

[hammered]

Apologies for posting the above Nation editorial twice (previously on http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/Thaksins-Lan...25#entry3127904 in the General sub-forum) - but it is plainly directly relevant to the Saxena case(s).

More than that, the paragraph third from the end

"In Thailand, politics dominates law. Seemingly solid evidence in Thaksin's share-concealment case in 2001 gave way to political factors. His party's violation of electoral laws, which was intended to fix a constitutional deadlock resulting from a Democrat-boycotted election, was dealt with only after he was out of power. In other words, when it comes to the really big cases affecting the status quo, it doesn't quite matter what the laws say or how strong the evidence is. The decisive force is what the politics says." [my bold emphasis]

is IMO relevant to a proper consideration of all cases that can be seen to have a political dimension/context (however you choose to define that).

True in many many countries especially but not confined to developing ones. He who has power is the law.

Having this case out of the headlines with the Cambodian distratcion is osmething the government must be happy about
