I vehemently and unapologetically disagree with the PDRC and the way the judiciary and independent agencies handled the crisis that led to the military coup. But the bomb has gone off, so there is no point in trying to diffuse it. Instead, we should all make sure that the junta is going to enact reforms that are in the people's interest, rather than in "some people's" interest. But more importantly we should insist that civil liberties and civilian rule under a democratically elected government is returned to Thailand as quickly as possible.
