NEWS !! - Thai fishermen put bounty

Subject: Re: NEWS !! - Thai fishermen put bounty on hostage-takers

I agree that shouldn't materialize.  It is possible there are money
hungry people.  But..., I see this more as at least 3 possibilities:
1) The Burmese SPDC is mis-leading them. 
2) There are a few angry people manipulating the whole group. 
3) They are seeing only one side of the issue. (The Scuba Tours off
Burma's south West tip certaintly do not know the whole picture.)

 This " Thai fisherman put bounty on hostage takers" is a pathetic call
and
 must not be materialised.
 It is a call by desperate, money hungry,cut throat world of fishing
 industries of Thailand.They have no idea whatsoever beyond fish
,Japanese
 markets and money left alone complexity of democracy movements of
Burma.
 I will be amazed if the fishing industry of Thailand has such power to
do so
 legally.
