Quote by: The Decider I'm sure the Swiss government has diplomats working on the pardon application right now.

Actually:

The Swiss Embassy issued a tempered criticism. "We respect the Thai justice system," said Jacques Lauer, deputy chief of mission at the embassy in Bangkok, but he added that it was a "tough" verdict.

Sounds like they're rather turning their back on the man.

Here's something for you all to consider: do you think the "tough" sentence has anything at all to do with the "temporary" military junta (which is gradually becoming a permanent military regime)? Is this a newer, tougher, Thailand? One that won't stand for any more foreign exploitation?
