PM Yingluck says her appointment of Nalinee Taveesin as a minister is not in violation of the Thai constitution. I agree. However, it became clear at a press conference held by Ms Yingluck's spokesman that the PM had not been aware Ms Nalinee was on a US blacklist. This black mark appeared around the time Ms Nalinee was made Thailand's Trade Representative. Her even getting that appointment is actually more surprising.

The important question we have to ask the PM is: ''Had you known this fact, would you still have appointed her?''

If the answer is no, then what kind of corrective action can be expected?
