Thaksin controversy could spark new round of conflict

.........The parliamentary ombudsmen have concluded that the Foreign Ministry's issuance of a new passport to Thaksin Shinawatra last year was wrong and, frustrated with the ministry's nonchalant attitude, have asked Yingluck to step in and do something. She might be able to delay her decision, but the issue will not go away. A lack of response from Yingluck, or her Cabinet, or the Pheu Thai-dominated Parliament, could prompt the ombudsmen to turn to the Administrative Court......Some argue that the "Thaksin line" has been crossed many times already, to Yingluck's advantage. The government has never been held legally accountable for frequent contacts between its office holders and the fugitive former prime minister. A senior police official has even openly put up Thaksin's photo in his office, daring anyone to initiate legal action over his admiration for the man. The line is getting more blurred as leading countries welcome Thaksin as a VIP guest.

Looks like this issue isnt going to lay down and die anytime soon.

Two faces of dishonesty ride together....

former Prime Minister and his cousin, the current Foreign Minister
