DSI is too busy with AV and Sutheps' indictment case, so that Boonlert can still walk free while pending his treason charge.

D1/nitnoi: Perhaps you're right. Someone should set up a "Retirement Home for the Politically Obsolete".

There, people like Boonlert, Chavalit and Chalerm could act out their little scenarios in a safe and nurturing setting, while sharing some of Chalerm's ear medication. Then the rest of the country could start moving into a bright new political age.

The problem here is, the offensive Thaksin audio cannot be publicly rebroadcast or legally circulated, but Thaksin can co-opt state-run TV to broadcast his version and denial publicly across the nation. Doesn't this government and the red-shirts claim to abhor double standards?

What Thaksin did in Macau was absolutely shameless, and demonstrates to everyone how desperate he is to return home, on a red carpet, recover his seized 46 billion baht, and grab power. He is part of the past, a convicted criminal, on the run, who'll stop at nothing to regain what he never deserved. He has no place in our present or future.
