Thailand's Nbtc Probing Controversial Live Broadcast By Thaksin

[maidu]

Or maybe we should get on with our lives and let Taksin get on with his.

The problem being is that Thaksin doesn't realise that the Thai people want to and indeed can get on with their lives without being involved in his life.

Agree. For Thaksin, this is a giant game of chutes and ladders. He must be giggling like a drunk 7 year old. Every time he burps, PT sits up, wipes the spillage, takes heed, and all Thais are compelled to discuss him for ensuing weeks. He loves it.

.....he's as happy as a barker for a girlie show, with a whole new line-up of girls and katoy.

The way to deal with this is to have the Taksin court cases investigated by an independant commission to see whether the correct legal processes and laws were followed.

No it's not. That would single this particular court case out for special attention. Thaksin was tried and found guilty. He then chose to jump bail and abscond rather than appeal. His lawyers must have felt there were no grounds of appeal. Therefore there is no reason to suggest the correct legal processes and laws were not followed. He won't come back because there are other charges waiting which again his lawyers must be concerned over. That's why he needs a general amnesty to whitwash everything.

The way to deal with this is for the government to follow the law, cancel his illegally issued Thai passport and request extradition where treaties exist. Fat chance of that happening when the government is your family and clan of course.

The NBTC investigation will be the usual waste of time. Nothing will happen.

This particular court case needs special attention if Thailand as a country is to move forward with reconciliation. As another poster says, everything in Thailand is politicized. If that is true then a commission needs to examine if this case was politicized, too.

I'm sure most posters here would get out of the country pretty quickly if they were faced with trumped-up charges. So let an independent commission investigate with the provisio that Thaksin accepts its verdict, whatever that may be.

There's plenty of examples in the west of miscarriages of justice that are re-investigated, so there is a precedence for this type of action. Unless the court cases are re-examined, I can't see Thailand ever moving forward on the issue of Thaksin.

Okay... Since no..one can agree on If charges are legal or if Thai Courts were Politically Motivated. And Since Thailand has to revamp some existin laws or loose funding from the West. Why not ask the United Nations to set up a Tribuneral to view and judge all cases involving Thaksin as there seems to be hedges of crimes against Humanity (ethnic Purging???) and to oversee case and charges against Abhisit and other PM's during this time period. Civil War could be a label used anytime there is a Coupe or when the Military is used to purge Heads of State from any Country. If Thailand is wanting a Democracy, to be seen as a Country wanting to be viewed on the World level.... To be seen as a true Leader in 2015 Asean Countries would view this step as a Major Leap of Faith for Thailand.

Let Politician's stand aside and do their Job and World Courts seek a resolution. There would be no "Lunch Box's" , No Christmas Cards with gifts $$$$ enclosed... no trying to save face on what ever settlement is reached. It would be unbiased and totally fair! and could settle scores for the total Arena!
