[attachmentid=704] "Army Commander in Chief Gen Anupong Paochinda on Thursday is defiant over using the ineffective GT200 bomb detector, saying his men on the ground confirmed the efficiencies of the device.

"I understand the scientific test results of the device. But what the army is trying to say is that when we use the device on the ground, it is very effective," he told a press conference. "This might be unable to be explained scientifically but I tell the truth."

Lining up in the same press conference were senior military officers including from explosive ordnance disposal units and procurement departments who expressed their view on the efficiency of the GT200 bomb detector. The confirmation came on Thursday although the Science Ministry's testing panels concluded that the device did not work.

Citing that K9 dog squad is better than the device, Prime Minister Abhisit has instructed security agencies to stop buying the device and asked them to review the device operations. "The scientific test proves it does not work. We have to believe the test which goes the same line with the result in foreign countries," he said.The United Kingdom has banned the export of the device after BBC's investigative reports clearly showed that the GT200 cannot work."

I think now we can see the mentality of the men they hire to throw their coups.

It's curious to see the PM saying the use of the device should be stopped, but the army chief says they will continue to use them. Who's in charge here?

I thought there had been another coup when I saw that huge color photo on the front page of the Nation on Friday morning, showing dozens of generals sitting at a table with red and gold curtains behind them. It looked even more dramatic than the last coup where there were only five lined up. One thing I did notice: there were no royal portraits behind them, which always seems to come with the scenery in events like this.
