    Com'on people, isn't the PTP flaunting the law and giving these 7 red leaders a chance to visit the fugitive in Cambodia. This is just unbelievable. To promote relations with both countries while Thaksin is there? that says a lot about the PTP, Hun Sen, and Thaksin.

    Are they not getting the elite treament backed by the PTP? simply amazing...if this was Suthemp or Abhisit facing charges, the usual posters would be all over it.

    Excuse me? Where are all the usual suspects saying that the rich never have to face justice? Here we have 7 rich UDD supporters getting bail for serious crimes and being allowed to leave the country for a HUGELY important reason... a football match.

    There don't really seem to be any 'double standards' here. It looks like the 'amart' are treated the same no matter what colour shirt they were.
