TallGuyJohninBKK Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 (edited) Thai PM stops tweeting pending probe of hacked Twitter account. BANGKOK, Oct 3 -- Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra said Monday that she would temporarily halt communicating via Twitter until the Information and Communication Technology Ministry (ICT) finishes its investigation to find the hacker who discredited her government and policies. (MCOT online news) -- TNA 2011-10-03 After reading thru all the changing and contradictory comments by the various government folks here, I realize it's not the hacker who has "discredited her government and policies." They've been managing to do quite a good job of that all by themselves....without any outside help. BTW, I notice in looking back that, according to the Nation, Nakornthap originally was expected to be the Social Development and Human Security Minister... Nice to see that these kinds of minister jobs are infinitely interchangeable.... I guess flying an F16 fighter pretty much equally qualifies one for either ICT or SD&HS....
