Thai Junta to Stay After Appointing P.M.
"One week after seizing power in a coup," reports the NY Times, "the leader of Thailand’s military junta said today that it would not disband after naming a civilian prime minister in the next few days but would stay on in an advisory role." (my emphasis)
As in "do what we 'advise' or we'll have you shot" type of advise? Like the evil Magic Ring in the Tolkein novels, power (over others), corrupts everyone and everything it touches.
