Meanwhile, in Thailand...

Thailand bars Univ. Web site
Yale Press site features new biography criticizing Thai king, a crime in Thailand

The government of Thailand has blocked the nation's access to the Yale University Press Web site after the company agreed to publish a biography critical of reigning Thai King Bhumibol Adulyadej.

Journalist Paul Handley's "The King Never Smiles," which will be published by Yale Press in May, argues that Thailand's King Adulyadej, who is currently the longest reigning living monarch, is "an anti-democratic monarch … who has protected a centuries-old, barely modified feudal dynasty," according to the Press Web site.

A statement signed by Thai National Police Chief Gen. Kowit Wattana obtained Friday by the Associated Press said the book has "contents which could affect national security and the good morality of the people." It was dated Jan. 19, but had not been previously publicized.
