1		2	Thaksin, The Times, conspiracy

In response to former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra's interview with The Times (UK), Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban is quoted as stating in Matichon that those who read the interview online may suspect that the two arranged/conspired for conducting the interview.

Pro-Thaksin red shirt leader Jautpon (BP: who else?) is quoted as in Thai Rath as calling on executives of The Times to investigate the interviewer of the Thaksin interview as the 12-page transcript includes some parts that have been distorted. The questions are stated to have come from a source in order to ask Thaksin questions.

Now, PM Office Minister Sathit is quoted in the Bangkok Post as stating that:

He said if The Times online is sincere and did not conspire with Thaksin to verbally attack and offend the supreme institution of Thailand, it should send the recording for checking, Mr Sathit said.

BP: Conspirers are in the mix, but these statements show that both sides are embracing the conspiracy theory.
