The government has set up a team to monitor the new radio show featuring ousted premier Thaksin Shinawatra, which is expected to debut on the internet tonight, Prime Minister's Office Minister Sathit Wongnongtoey said on Tuesday.

Mr Sathit said legal action would be taken against those involved in the broadcast if there was anything illegal about the show.

He also said the government would release more information in the next day or two about the source of the doctored audio clip of Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva apparently ordering the use of violence against demonstrators in April,

He believed the audio was edited from a recording of comments made by Mr Abhisit during his weekly programme "Confidence in Thailand with Prime Minister Abhisit".

Mr Satit also said the government was not worried about the sound clip.

Police on Sunday arrested two employees of SC Asset, a giant property development company run by Thaksin's sister, and laid charges against them under the Computer Crimes Act.

This government is so afraid, i would even go further and say, to the point of paranoid about Thaksin. THAKSIN IS HISTORY but his ghost still lingers on here in Thailand as his money is being funnelled to keep his hollow dream of returning to Thailand and regaining power alive.

This government makes a mockery of governing for the people and in the interests of the people.

Nazistyled tactics have a habit of coming back on those who perpetrate them.

Any Government should remember that!

seems you forgot to include the internet address for the radio show...

or maybe you dont like people making up their own minds?

if the govt is not worried about the tape why has it panicked, spent so much taxpayers mpney on expensive PR trying to deny what Abhisit obviously wanted to say and invoked draconian laws against someone they claim forwarded an email?
