Huh. Haven't been paying attention to Thailand lately ... I know there's the usual Islamic unrest in the Thai hinterlands. Is that enough to make the military want to take over?

Uhh...isn't when the army rolls tanks and takes over civilian broadcast the definition of military takeover???

I think CNN can remove the "rumor" portion......

Not good. I'm sure that somehow, this will be portrayed as Bush's fault.

It's just coming in on the wires. I am watching the broadcast.

Just flipped over to Sky News and they were also reporting coup rumours.
