Do we really need two posts on this subject? You can post your observations on the situation in Bangkok on the ' Massive Army Deployment' topic. That is if you have something worthwhile to say.

Everybody who writes for publications in Thailand is well aware that several pairs of scissors are in use. This is nothing new and common practise, even more rigidly enforced in 2003 by the ousted Mr T. who is by himself violating its own laws heavily.

Just try to read between the lines.

I found Business Day is often very good, i.e. on politics.
