War on drugs starts wednesday

Let's hope it's not like the last one when 1000's died but I've seen an article suggesting 1000's could be killed again this time round :-(

War on drugs to start on April 2

BANGKOK: -- The government will launch its war on drugs on April 2 and mobilise all units to crack down on illicit drugs for 90 days, Interior Minister Chalerm Yoobamrun said on Wednesday.

Chalerm said he was aware of a difficult fight ahead but expected cut down the trafficking. He called for strict law enforcement without heeding the concern of human right advocates.

-- The Nation 2008-03-26

There was a clip from a press conference with the PM posted on YouTube...been removed now...where he said>>>

PM: We must do... we have a war on drug.
Q: Are you worried about the innocent victims?
PM: ...what do you mean by innocent victim?!!!!

Similiar to Samak's view on the southern incidents when alot of people died.

"They did not eat for a day, not swallow anything, so they fall on top of each other and died, whats wrong with that?"

There's a video here about the 2003 massacre. Let's hope it's not a case of just changing the 3 to an 8.

Nice of them to announce a start date.. Lets everyone plan to stock up !!

And last time it wasnt an indiscriminate slaughter.. They only killed the dealers not aligned with the cops.. Ohh and some kids.. And a couple who won the lottery (becuase they assumed they must be dealers as they had some money !!).. etc etc
