Abhisit, Suthep happy to be tried, but Thaksin?

Just about every week we can count on another fatuous letter from Mr Somsak Pola. Well done, sir. Don’t let the facts get in the way of your inane rants.

Mr Abhisit and Mr Suthep have never at any time said they did not want to stand trial. In fact, when offered the benefit of a blanket amnesty they refused to sell their souls and willingly accepted the course of the law. 

We protesters and supporters have not objected to them being tried, but object to them being tried as citizens. (Citizens with the power to order the army into action?) The government has offered a transparent deal. Forgive our ex-leader of his multibillion-baht sins and spare another 25,000 graft-mongers and we let you go free. Just what we need – 25,000 corrupt officials back on the streets and free to extort and take revenge on their old victims. But even that is better than having the puppet-master back here with a clean slate, which was the only thing Pheu Thai wanted anyway.
