Sutichai Yoon has a Maoesque fit of self critique over at the Nation about the lack of investigative journalism in the local village rags.

All these soldiers around the Dusit Thani hotel and the streets and sois around Silom. It would be scary of they had weapons and guns, but thank god they only carry shields and smiles.

I guess it was to be expected. After the yellow shirts. the red shirts and the blue shirts, it is time for the white shirts to show up. They walked from Lumpini park to the Bangkok Bank offices. I guess that’s just about the distance an untrained office worker in white shirt and tie can cover, without breaking in to a sweat.
