Reference: Politics behind Army HQ blast, Bangkok Post, October 3, 2007

Every once in a while a small bomb in a package goes off somewhere in Bangkok. In every instance the authorities immediately announce the motivation for the blast and the general identification of the parties responsible. And then, even though they profess to know everything about the event, they go ahead and order an investigation but we never learn what the results of the the investigation were. Months and then years go by and eventually the incident fades from the media and the collective memory of the nation. One would expect that a rational government would order the investigation first, make the results of the investigation public, and only then draw conclusions. One would also expect that the government would bring the perpetrators to justice and take corrective and preventive actions.
