There was an interesting report on BBC World over the weekend, questioning why no Thai soldier has yet been arrested for the killing of innocent civilians such as nurses during the Red Shirt protests last year. There was one almost throwaway line at the end about "current discussions". The reporter asserted that a deal is being discussed - amnesty for the army's shooting of civilians in exchange for an amnesty for Thaksin. Nothing would surprise me (except someone actually being prosecuted and convicted).
