The drug barons evade conviction. Even when the big boys are picked up they seem to get away. Look at the case of an alleged senior Wa trafficker who was given bail and slipped the net. Or that of the former Thai MP who was released from U.S. custody after the authorities there stumbled over a technicality. Charges don't stick.
Somebody screws up.
Somebody gets paid off. So it should be with both hope and trepidation that the Thai people approach the next general election. But watch out for the sickly smell of drugs. The people's choice could be corrupted by it. All Rights Reserved.
