Political analyst Thitinan Pongsudhirak — whose recent story about the national police chief saga I mentioned yesterday — has another Bangkok Post opinion piece worth reading.

Timely reading, as tomorrow (Sat., Sept. 19th) is the three year anniversary of the military coup that toppled exiled former PM Thaksin.
