The US Embassy has stated that it has not passed on any information to Jatuporn. He has a hidden agenda, I think. I know it's a silly question, but shouldn't he be back in jail for breaking a bail condition by trying to stir up more Red Shirt mobs?

It is patently clear that Jatuporn is a legend in his own mind and craves publicity at any price. Holding another red shirt rally may well result in too high a price being paid. "Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra said Mr Jatuporn's coup claims might only be intended as a deterrent." One has to wonder why Yingluck takes such a "soft" view of someone who is clearly endangering her position by showing such a naive level of tolerance. In any other democracy, the PM would give such a person a severe dressing down or cancel their party membership or both. Time for Yingluck to stop being nice to everyone. As for the media, stop reporting on Jatuporn. Without you he is no one and nowhere - he is a waste of space and newsprint.

Jatuporn claims to have knowledge provided by US intelligence regarding a plan by the army to force another coup on the country. Yingluck suggests that he is simply trying to prevent a coup from occuring. However, it is the responsibility of the army to protect the country from enemies both foreign and domestic and Jatuporn should be forced to disclose his source of information to protect the country. Otherwise, it may be that Jatuporn is simply encourging a coup. Jatuporn has opened his big mouth. Let the General demand the whole truth and if Jatuporn does not cooperate, charge him with inciting unrest.
