So all the bangkok CCTV cameras, Internet monitoring, telephone surveillance, suppression of civil liberties, jailing of people for desent, miltary rewrite of the constitution, and martial law has done nothing to make Thailand safer.

People who give up their freedoms for security deserve neither.

Up to now, all of these measures were targeted towards "Lese M" and "Redshirts".

Mere terrorism - the Powers That Be didn't care until this week.

If this type of bomb hasn't been used before in Thailand then of course the makers must be foreign because Thai people are incapable of using the Internet to find detailed instructions on how to make bombs. That's right, isn't it?

The timers must have been expertly set, was that not a cell phone the bomber got out of his plastic bag, he did not pretend to take a pic the phone was angled forward, to me it looked like he swiped the screen and brought something up then walked away pressed call and up she went, a timer would be a bit amature and if set wrong +could have killed the poor guy.

Forensic evidence police said a few days ago "there was no residue to collect".

They opened the place up and left evidence as souvineers for the public and the BBC.

Ball bearings in both bombs -- no conection.

Now the 2 drawings of the suspect have 2 different hair styles.

Surely the Tuk Tuk who is supposed to have picked the guy up and drove him back and forth over a few days would know if he had a false nose

So they might have used a timer on the second bomb but to me it looks like a cell phone detonation of the first and now the authorities with no forensic evidence or a trace say they must be expert bomb makers because of the excellent timers.

Maybe the BBCEED can find some more forensic evidence to solve this Tale of Two Bombs

Another peice of info I read a few days ago was that the yellow shirt was unique to a botique in Jakarta where did that come from???

And another feed on google trying to link terrosts from that area to this ??

I'll bet he/she has never heard of the Thammasat Massacre of 1976. Thais are deeply ashamed of that one and want to put it down the memory hole, but they did it.

Thais so deeply ashamed that Samak Sundaravej who played a pivotal role in the Hok Tula massacre was subsequently appointed Prime Minister by Thaksin?

Shame just doesn't cut it. It's not shame the has led to suppression of past history. It's something else.

Of course his involvement wouldn't be held against him. They want to deny it ever happened. If it never happened, he never did it. That's logic.
