presumed dead, were campaigners against logging, dams and wastewater
projects." Another article quote: "She reminded those audiences,
she said, that more than 2,000 people suspected of breaking drug
laws were killed during a three-month 'war on drugs' by the Thaksin
government last year [2003], a move that prompted the State Department
