File under: Thai Insurgency

#1 Human rights group criticised the move, saying it exposed detainees to potential abuses by the army, which is operating under martial law that grants soldiers immunity from prosecution.

Is there any way we can arrange for these bleeding heart types to do some extensive bleeding far away from the nearest available transfusion? The detainees in question are potentially involved in the beheading and murder of Buddhists, fer cripes sake! What is it about martial law that makes it so objectionable? The terrorists operate entirely outside of the legal system. Does anyone really think that conventional law enforcement methods will achieve much more than they already have to date?

Samples of their DNA would be kept on record.

Hokay, let's make one thing perfectly clear. Someone in Thailand has finally purchased one helluva bigger clue than most Western anti-terrorist efforts. Terrorism runs in the family and gathering DNA is a principal method of drawing connectivity charts.

Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont has fought off pressure from Thailand's Buddhist majority to take stronger action in the Muslim, Malay-speaking region, saying he remains committed to a peaceful resolution.

Get rid of this chump. How do you obtain any "peaceful resolution" with a group that has ZERO intention of peaceful coexistence?

#2 Interfering with muslims' right to commit atrocities, huh? Shame!

This criticism comes right on cue as soon as the Thai military actually does something about the terror.

#3 Interfering with muslims' right to commit atrocities, huh? Shame!

Yeah, I know. I'll repent for it just as soon as I'm done with some far more important tasks like plucking my nose hairs.

#4 Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont (appointed by General Sonthi Boonratklin, who is a Muslem) has fought off pressure from Thailand's Buddhist majority to take stronger action in the Muslim, Malay-speaking region

That's like having a CAIR-affiliated terror apologist in charge of Homeland security.
