Bob Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 Two Mass Graves I'm not one to normally paste a news clipping but this one caught my eye. The link is to a ThaiVisa story about an article in the Nation. Having followed most of the news stories of the events of the protests, etc., I don't recall seeing any claims by the Redshirts that there were a lot of "missing" people. And, if one believes the Abbot in the story - that two men brought in all the bodies - that stinks to high heaven. If it actually turns out that these are redshirt corpses, somebody ought to hang for this. [Edit: I've tried to find this story in the online edition of the Nation but, so far, I can't. That puzzles me a bit given I would think this would be one of the top stories of the day.] Quote

In The Nation on-line edition, there is now just a very small entry which includes this comment - "the temples' abbots said the bodies were understood to be tsunami victims from Chumphon." Seems some red shirt sympathiser might be trying to make up a juicy news story. Quote
Bob Posted August 19, 2011 Author Posted August 19, 2011 I couldn't find it in the Bangkok Post either....but the Thai Visa copy reflects it as a Nation story of 8/19/11 (today!). Because the story was so provocative, I thought it wise to at least find the original story and, as noted, so far I can't. Maybe a fake story or the Nation simply deleted it? Hell if I know. Edit: Just found at least a follow-up story in the Nation (the army chief saying that people shouldn't jump to conclusions yet): Nation Story Tsunami victims? Why the heck would they transport bodies from the south all the way over to Rayong Province? Couldn't somebody fairly quickly tell the difference between a body that's been buried for 15 months from one that's been buried for 5-6 years? Something is strange here. Quote
