Thailand: Thaksin's Ploy

The Lost Boy describes how the ruling Council for National Security (CNS) in Thailand is “playing into Thaksin’s hands ^[1]“. The authorities closed three radio stations last week after they featured Thaksin calling in from his current home in England. “What has happened now is that all community radio stations are being closely monitored, and so we can expect any that steps out of line, in the eyes of the CNS, to be closed down immediately. Can’t the CNS see that this will only lead to resentment?”
