Red Shirts Mimic Village Tactics Used By Rebels: Thai Opinion

[hyperdimension]

Only in late 2008 they began to build a more sophisticated organization, and only after the crackdown in 2009 their organization started to take the shape we see now.

How about including Thaksin's hired lobbyists and strategists since January 2007 into your historical account?:

Barbour Griffith & Rogers Lobbying Report (2011-01-20)

Provide strategic counsel on U.S. government policy and assist with advancing the individual's desire to promote democracy in Southeast Asia.

Amsterdam & Peroff LLP Lobbying Report (2010-10-20)

Kobre & Kim LLP Lobbying Report (2010-07-19)

Baker Botts L.L.P. Lobbying Report (2007-08-14)

Develop and implement a strategic approach to the various international legal and political issues that confront Dr. Thaksin due to the coup of September 19. The firm will monitor the evolution of US polices towards the interim government in Thailand or the Administration's position regarding attempts by Dr. Thaksin's return to Thailand and may subsequently undertake contacts as necessary to ensure that such policies remain consistent with those currently in place.

Forget your predjudice for a moment

Could Thaksin now be legally classed as a Motenegran citizen?.........as such, would Thai law be applicable to a Montenegran citizen outside of Thailand?

Just pointing out a possibilty.....

Prejudice has nothing to do with it.

Thaksin may be a Montenegrin citizen. But that is irrelevant, because he is also a Thai citizen.

He is also a convicted criminal and still is under the current laws.

He was not convicted under the military Junta but under one or the other governments which came after both of which were on his side and both of which had the opportunity to change the law.

He was convicted in a legal court operating under the rules of the law at that time.

He may still be a Thai citizen but until the law is changed in his favour or not when he comes back he should be put straight into jail and then the rest of the crimes he has been accused of should be heard in a court where there should be NO politcal influence at all and NO demonstrations should be allowed outside the courts or prison by ANY side at all.

After all he said he was not guilty of any crimes at all and would acceppt the court ruling.

It was against him so he did a runner which is strange for a man who was willing to accept the verdict.
