[In_My_Reality] Update on the Bangkok arms plane from North Korea

http://english.aljazeera.net/news/asia-pacific/2009/12/2009122562536363920.html

12 more days for the crew - "we thought we were hauling oil drilling equipment" and maybe that is true....i guess that is what was on the waybill obviously
Thailand might have to let the crew go - but keep the plane... but then that might not be nice either ....but says they are sending a full report to the UN which is good....NK may cry to China which may complain to thailand but I think too late now that it is all out in the open.... Thailand at least seems to be doing the right thing as they don't want to have China whining over NK weapons... but again -too late for any backroom deals and the US was the tipster so seems like everyone knew what was on the plane except the crew? yeah right .... but maybe it really is justa bunch of wooden crates - can really have anything in them....the crew just gets paid to fly the darn plane - they don't go prying open wooden crates... but I gues if they get realeased they won't be flying Korean Weapons Free Delivery Air Freight airlines in the future - they should have tried to land in burma/myanmar.... then they wouldn't be in this "pickle" right now......


now here is the BBC asia pacific page

and here is the Aljazeera Asia pacific page
http://english.aljazeera.net/news/asia-pacific/2009/12/2009122562536363920.html

I don't know they pretty much have the same articles ... cannot say one is better than the other...
