Paul Handley post-book articles?

[quiet1]

I realize Paul Handley's book can be a delicate item to dicuss online in LOS these days, but I'm looking for some online articles/editorials he wrote that cover the 2006 coup and after. I thought I had bookmarked them, but I hadn't.

I'm hopeless at Google searches, but I did try: Googling his name provides over 600,000 hits, and Googling his name + "article" results in twice that many. (Why is that? Shouldn't the second search be a SUBSET of the first search?)

I have a luk kreung (half-Thai) friend in America whose Thai mother is from the rather elite sector of Bangkok society. She read Handley's book on my recommendation and was impressed with his writing, and I want to direct her to his subsequent commentaries on Thai politics.

If anyone has those links, could you either post them here, or in a private message to me, please?

Handley has kept somewhat of a low profile since TKNS. The one piece from him that does spring to mind was 'What the Thai coup was really about' in Asia Sentinel, where he advanced the theory that the coup was actually about the control of succession, which the palace had felt was coming under Thaksin's undue influence, due to his courting of the CP. This was an important theory because, if true, it would indicate that the CP's succession is far from guaranteed.

Other than that there were several interesting interviews with him and at least one other piece:

Thanks so much! It was the asiasentinel ones I was looking for, although the interview was a nice read as well.
